A cold start to the day today...
Some of the ice crystals were 1.5 cm long.
Brrrrr...

Steve,
Are these formations common where you live?
They are not, here in northwestern U.S.
I was surprised to see some similar things last winter, see these posts:

Hi Rik. The normal occurrence here is the acicular (needle-like) crystals. The ones in your links and my second photo, are not the norm. However, having said that, ice is a recognised mineral and has a defined crystal structure. It is hexagonal (as you may have seen in pictures of snow crystals). My second photo shows hexagonal prismatic crystals with flat-topped terminations.rjlittlefield wrote:Are these formations common where you live?
