Thanks Catherine, nice to have you drop by again
ReplyDeleteHi Gilly, in its simplest terms a Hoar frost is in effect an air moisture (above freezing) freezing on a frozen object, as this builds up over time it can take on the apperance of snow. This usualy happens in cold clear winter nights where the ground remains frozen all day, but the air warms to just above freezing, as night falls the droplets coat objects and freeze on contact. Why it's caled Hoar, I'm not sure.
Wow~They are all so Beautiful!!
