Default [WR] Freezing rain showers, Motherwell

Currently have a freezing rain shower 4 miles east of Motherwell.
The air temp is just above zero, but concrete ground temp's must be below.
Footpaths are treacherous, but the roads seem ok.

Its turned to freezing drizzle.
Here's a link to a picture I've just taken of the drizzle rapidly turning to
ice, note - this is not small hail although it appears very similar. But
definitely freezing rain/drizzle:
