The rain and above freezing temperatures today removed the white decorations from the trees so Christmas morning might not be so white, but the weather changes frequently and the forecast has some white snow decoration coming later in the day.
White Decorations on Pine Tree
I preferred yesterday’s frosty flakes than the ice and snow today. These hoarfrost flakes were larger than other times and had wonderful patterns when viewed up close.
Frosty Flakes
A frigid night with temperature below zero dawned into a very frosty morning. The frosty flakes sparkled in the chilly sunlight.
December Frosty Morning
It took until mid-morning, but the sun did break through to shine on the new heavy hoarfrost coating. And with temperatures in the upper twenties, it was a nice day for a winter walk.
Sunny Frosty Sunday
It may be a new year, but this morning looked just like the past few frosty days so apparently Mother Nature didn’t get the memo about it being the start of a brighter year.
Starting Out the Same
Mother Nature added more Christmas decorations in the form of frost this morning. And at times the sky looked like a snow globe when the frost started to fall.
Frosty Morning
The morning was whiter than I wanted to see with a fresh coating of snow and hoarfrost too. The sun peaked out in the afternoon to help re-melt the new snow layer.
White Frost
The extra day of this leap year was extra white this morning with a new coating of hoarfrost until the sun came out and melted it.
Extra White on Extra February Day
The foggy night left a light frost coating on the trees this morning but the sunshine melted the hoarfrost fairly quickly.
Frosty Pine Needles
The dawn arrived in a very white color as the trees were covered in thick hoarfrost. After a few hours, when the sun was trying to break through the clouds, the wind picked and created a whiteout from all the frost falling off the trees.
