We have had some pretty cold and wet weather recently, and we are currently in the grip of storm Christoph with strong winds, heavy rain and high flood risk.
Just a few days ago many parts of the country experienced snow and freezing temperatures and while it might be nice to see a bit of snow I was pleased that we didn't get any. It was still pretty cold though as these pictures show. The water on our bird feeder had frozen and around the edges of the water bowl these amazing patterns had formed. The crystals were growing downwards but turning them upwards they look rather like trees, an icy conifer forest perhaps.
The formation in the first image actually made me think of a slug or some other exotic mollusc but then again maybe I am just a bit weird...
