I have a freezing rain snow mix here for half hour as the windows rattled but looks like back to snow now

I've still got freezing rain/snow mix. The snow has drifted but not settled well. 

[Dorsetbred]

As expected we have ice pellets/freezing rain falling..

Hello from next door, can someone confirm if ANYTHING is falling from the sky in the Portsmouth area. Trying to resolve whether the radar is playing with us. 

Thanks in Advanced. 

Around 15 miles from Portsmouth and can confirm heavy snow falling

I’m transitioning back to snow by the looks of it! Not fully, I’d say 50/50 atm

[MidnightSnow]

People on Facebook complaining about livestock being left out in the snow while they chow down on their beef stew  Humans are a funny old species

[Somerset Squall]

Has anyone got big flakes anymore? I am entering the heavier stuff on the radar and it still looks really fine and powdery. Not that I am complaining too much though. Had a really good covering here :). I'd post some pics but the uploads always fail.

I'm waiting for that heavier precip now in the hope that is snow. I just went out the back and I'm sure what we have here is ice pellets rather rain. For now.

[Snowman.]

Wonderful thanks for all the replies.

Is there a chance this freezing ice rain turns back to snow or is that it now?

It should do:

" Even if the snow turned to freezing rain, it would almost certainly turn back to extremely heavy snow "

from this post:

but it will perhaps vary depending on the location.

Very heavy ice rain now hitting the sky light windows definitely not normal rain. Hope it turns back to snow as radar looks promising still.

So the lowest March max temp in England is - 3.3, looks like a few places have broken it

-4C in the early hours and -2.5C@ 1600

Now -0.5c.

8t is snowing moderately with frozen pellets which are noisy on the conservatory.

The coverage is probably a few inches but it is blowing and drifting bare in places high in others.

 

[Dormouse]

Very strong gusts here, really banging through.  Horizontal powder being picked up and thrown with force up the road!

just been out to pick up dustbin and it took my breath away, so cold and strength of the wind was awesome.

very glad to get back indoors.

Just went outside.  Very small snowflakes/snowgrains but coming down so heavy that it is still accumulating.

Moderate snow since 2pm. We have at least 8cm on the ground! No, the radar has been spot on!

[Frank Trough]

I'm pretty sure it's straight rain here now. It was wet hitting my coat and hands. 

[Mark Parsons]

Freezing rain/snow here and the wind has picked up......
