Description
When water vapour becomes ice at freezing temperatures, hoarfrost may occur. Hoarfrost converts the world into a place of magical white beauty. It only stays this way for a short period in the early morning. I love this scene, with the little dazzling tree lit up by the sun, and the white world behind!
Hoarfrost or "hoar frost", has been described as "expressing the resemblance of white feathers of frost to an old man's beard". :) Hoarfrost, deposit of ice crystals on objects exposed to the free air, such as grass blades, tree branches, or leaves. It is formed by direct condensation of water vapour to ice at temperatures below freezing and occurs when air is brought to its frost point by cooling. Hoarfrost is formed by a process analogous to that by which dew is formed on similar objects, except that, in the case of dew, the saturation point of the air mass is above freezing.
