Yes, this looks more like this stuff:

When they have absorbed enough water they take on a look similar, but not 
quite like that of ice. More or less exactly like what your image shows. 
Its not far off what you wanted, just not quite right. I would say it 
looks too "wet", like partly melted slush, rather than ice.
