Until the spell ends, sleet falls in a 40-foot-tall, 20-foot-radius Cylinder centered on a point you choose within range. The area is Heavily Obscured, and exposed flames in the area are doused. Ground in the Cylinder is Difficult Terrain. When a creature enters the Cylinder for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or have the Prone condition and lose Concentration.

Sleet Storm 5e 2024 vs. 2014 edition differences

The 2024 version specifies "up to 1 minute" duration, whereas the 2014 version states "1 minute." The 2024 version reverses the cylinder's dimensions to 40-foot-tall, 20-foot-radius, while the 2014 has 20-foot-tall, 40-foot-radius. The 2024 version states "Heavily Obscured" explicitly; the 2014 states "heavily obscured" without capitalization. The 2024 version combines the prone condition and losing concentration into one saving throw, while the 2014 separates them.
