Dancing Frost

OK I know that’s a strange title. But as a photographer, its difficult for me to blog about this because I don’t have photographic evidence.

It was a cold morning (10 degrees!). As I greeted my rental car, it had a nice wintertime display on all the windows courtesy of Jack Frost.

OK here’s the hard part. As I started driving, I noticed one of the frosty snowflakes on the windshield started spinning! I can assure you I was awake and not hallucinating! As I picked up speed, the spinning flake flew off the windshield. It was so young!

As I drove across PA and into Ohio, below are some of the images from the road showing the recent snow and ice that was on the roadside trees.

Frosty Start

The last Sunday morning before Christmas started off on the cold side. In fact in many places it was probably the coldest morning of the new cold season.

Frost Morning

On the second morning in the new month of December, overnight temperatures fell into the upper 20’s. That combined with a clear sky and calm conditions created a frosty start to the morning!

Frosty Good Friday

A cold start to Good Friday 2011. Overnight temperatures fell below freezing. There were frost advisories to the south of me around the Philadelphia metro area. The same were not posted around here as the growing season up here has not officially started yet.
