Frosted snow

I love it when ice crystals form a layer on top of the snow - so delicate and beautiful. I always feel a little guilty if I have to walk on it. Took this photo on 18 December 2012, when a group of us took part in the High River Christmas Bird Count (about a half hour drive S of Calgary). If I remember correctly, this was out at Frank Lake, which was one of the areas we covered.

Haha ... that is cold Anne ...frost on snow ... it is like snowing on ice ... in all cases 0C or 32F ... and that is a constant ... I will bet the snow, frost and ice is a lot warmer than the surroundings ... LOL

I was shopping last week and the Supermarket must have been very cold ... they had frosted corn flakes!!
