Freezing rain

Ooh, do you have a photo you could put on here?
It's very stormy here.

Where do you live? The rain here on the South coast is just miserable? cold driving rain; but not cold enough to freeze ☔️☔️☔️☔️

It is very scary stuff. We were in Holland once when we had freezing rain and could not stand up let alone drive. We were stranded.

Sorry no photos as my phone storage is 100%full
Live in Bolton...just been on Google re "freezing rain" really interesting!

Very wet, cold and windy here in SW Wales. The sky has just changed to a very odd yellow. Quite peculiar

Pouring down here, but not icy at all ( thankfully).

It's just been dark all day here with what must be the eye of the storm in this part. I believe the sea is angry too as I've just had the umpteenth delivery and the young chap said it was dreadful down by the sea wall.
Morrison's was flooded after the last bad storm hit us as it's right near the sea.

I was just thinking what a shame it is for all the local shops. I'm sure they were hoping for a profitable day today and the weather will have kept a lot of people in. Certainly did me!

Wet and dark as night here in South London but no freezing rain. But to be honest I have not been out in it!!

I experienced freezing rain on top of snow and ice, some years ago. I can vividly recall being stranded on the pavement near my son's house, clutching a wall, in the dark, and hoping someone would rescue me, which they did eventually. Not fun.

It just seems to be raining here and windy.

Just been outside and it's now melting...was beautiful.

Anyone with any sense would have stayed put today. High winds are dangerous apart from it being bitterly cold and wet as well.
Even my cats changed their usual toilet route and hurriedly scurried back in.

Yes, businesses will have suffered a blow too.

I daren't even begin to think how the homeless must be feeling/faring.

..yes heart breaks for those people who for whatever reason are living on the streets...

Colchester Essex and absolutely FREEZING feels like -5 with a strong biting wind as soon as you open the front door. Very draughty old house on a hill so built a big fire and now having a g&t before cooking a curry.

I am recovering from a foot injury so I have an excuse to put my feet up and hunker down. I just need someone to look after me!

Friends in France posted pics on line of icy conditions. Including a sky dish covered in a sheet of ice. Shortly after they posted the area had lost power.

We had sleet in Kent this afternoon.

I drove back from Wales to Surrey yesterday in awful rain and wind. Was so glad to get back safely and when I walked over to my daughters when I arrived it was freezing

I've only seen it once, in France, on the way with brother and SiL to their house. Roads were so treacherous, lorries were banned, and when we stopped in their little town for bread, the roads and pavements were sheet ice.
Couldn't park near the house, approach too icy, had to inch our way gingerly to the door.
Thank goodness the thaw started that evening.

Its dry thats all I know at the moment but I am planning on going out in a moment so it will be dozens of layers. Friday I went to Swansea from Somerset and it felt like the north pole. But I haven't seen any freezing rain.

My first day of setting up a company in Pennsylvania 25 years ago had me working late and our office cleaner warning me about the coming “freezing rain”.

I thanked her for the warning but continued working. At about 10pm I returned to my car to find it coated with a thick layer of solid ice.

So I returned to my office to sleep on the floor having learned that unlike benign British weather, North American weather can kill the unprepared.

Global warming may mean that deadly weather will be visiting our grandchildren as they become adults.

It was a horiible cold, wet and windy day yesterday in Oxfordshire but we battled it out and bought our tree. And had coffee at the garden centre!

We watched icicles form on the shed as the rain fell yesterday afternoon and within a very short time at least 10 accidents were reported on one stretch of the M6 (Cumbria) with the addition of hail/snow.
This morning its all disappeared, thank goodness !!

I bought tickets as a treat to go and watch Manchester City yesterday on the opposite side of the ground from my husband’s normal seat. We endured a dreadful journey there in the weather and found that our seats were almost at the front completely unsheltered on every side! I realised that I hadn’t gauged my clothing right at all, we were completely drenched, frozen to the marrow, I thought I may have frostbite in my toes, we were both shivering through to our underwear! It was hell! I went and got us hot drinks but HE refused to go up into the stands to watch the rest as he didn’t want to miss a moment! I wish I’d gone up on my own but I was worried about not finding him again in that vast crowd. Safe to say, I didn’t enjoy it (apart from the win) at all and couldn’t get warm on an equally dreadful journey home! All I could think of, I’ve paid a lot of money for these tickets!

Oh feel for you Lucky legs brrrr!
I worked at MCFC for a few years (Maine rd)
Just walked the dog and today is quite cold but tons better than yesterday...
