Continuing on with the cold theme, not snow this time but a spectacular visit from Jack Frost. The trees were completely white, and closer inspection revealed they were covered in long, thin white needles of ice. Having never seen frost like this I googled and this morning's display wasn't just ordinary frost, nope - turns out it was hoar frost which in case you were wondering.....
occurs when water vapour touches a very cold surface and freezes instantly, a process known as deposition. This often happens on the leaves and branches of plants, covering them with ice crystals that look like spiky white fingers.

Hoar frost creates a very, very spectacular display and this morning transformed the landscape into a beautiful but cold winter wonderland.
