Isn't this frost beautiful? It is actually Hoar Frost which on clear frosty nights in winter soft ice crystals might form on vegetation or any object that has been chilled below freezing point by radiation cooling. This deposit of ice crystals is known as hoar frost and may sometimes be so thick that it might look like snow. The interlocking ice crystals become attached to branches of trees, leafs, hedgerows and grass blades and are one of the most prominent features of a typical 'winter wonderland' day. The amazing part is that it usually melts or burns off by mid-day but we have had it for two full days straight! Lovely!
