Hair Ice 3

These are very fine crystals of ice that form on dead or rotting plants at temperatures slightly below freezing. These photos were taken very near my pond on a clear morning. The Wikipedia article says they are mostly found between latitudes 45 and 55 degrees north, but these are located at latitude 33 north. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_ice

Interesting response to the cold Ronald, Rarely do we get excessive cold nights, sometimes severe frosts but not seen anything like this before.

Thank you for the visit, Maurice. Winters here are usually only cool, but on clear nights the temperature can fall well below freezing. Summers are usually very hot and humid.
