small beauties: ice

[kellan_the_tabby]

[ Several small plant stems, gathered in a group and all pointing up. Each one is covered in snow and ice. ]

Couple days ago it snowed! Or iced! Or probably graupeled. Anyway everything is covered in white, except for Remy’s run, because he ate all the snow there.

Graupel!

[ A close view of the white stuff covering the ground — instead of separate snowflakes, it’s little snowy ice balls, each maybe a milimeter across. ]

Even the tumbleweeds look nicer with a coat of white.

[ The spiky ends of tumbleweed stalks stick out of a coating of snow and ice. ]

… still no fun to walk on, though.

The plant stems look kind of like a hand...

Graupel.. that's a new word for me. (we call that stuff sugar snow) Any idea of the origin for it?

Wow, I did not know tumbleweed was that spiky.

I photographed some melting clear-ice icicles last week, need to load 'em up and process the pix.
