Default It's snailing, hnowing or whatever

The English language lacks a word for a mixture of snow and hail,
usually in the form of lumps that are neither one nor the other.
Any ideas on what to call it?

Anyway, we have just had a shower of it here.

As did we in SE London when I was at the allotment wheelbarrowing some
horse muck yesterday afternoon. Odd stuff.
