The "sleet" the 26th could've been hail.  This was with a rather strong thunderstorm (.39
inches reported from 8:14 - 8:27 EST at MPO with temperature of 1-2 °C - 850 mb temperature
was approximately 5 °C.).  Pellets were large for sleet (estimated 3/16 inch diameter),
though they were transparent - not a bit opaque nor layered as hailstones typically are.
Thus I tentatively call it sleet.

MPO reported rain each of the last 3 days of the month - a small .01 inch event late the
29th & early the 30th, and .32 inches late day to midnight the 31st. Thus some precipitation
probably occurred here 26 days of the month.
