How to see combined rain/snow radar on Windy?
-
I'm a registered user on Windy (browser on desktop).
If I click on "Weather radar" on the right, I can see rain radar. But how can I see where snow is falling? I want to see both precipitaciones at the same time.
I tried with "Rain Thunder" (on the right) but then it doesn't show current conditions, but it shows forecasts for snow (there is a (future) time slider below and I can choose "Forecast model" below.
How can I get a combined (rain/snow) radar of current conditions? -
For now, Radar in Windy shows precipitations i.e rain + snow.
All weather radars in the world are not able to separate rain and snow. It is only possible in some countries where dual-polarisation radars are available. See more about it -

Thank you for your answer. I understand the problem now.
I asked because I saw separated precipitations on some applications, but I didn't find this on Windy.
Example (Slovenia):
It can be very interesting to see.

Some apps display a combination of actual radar data and forecast temperatures, so this is not a true snowfall observation, but simply an estimate of the likelihood that rain is turning to snow.
But for this in the mountains it is better to use a high resolution weather model, otherwise the result will be quite poor. -

I agree, but in my observations it looks surprisingly accurate.
