Hair Ice in the Highlands

[Bob Morris]

Thought this was interesting. I'd never heard of this before.

The first link is the BBC news item; the second link is about the investigation into the occurrence of the hair ice.

 

Cheers

I didn't realise it was rare, see it here all the time in winter, there was a blob near the house on monday morning.

 

Ever since a kid I've always loved picking it up and watching it disappear in your hand!

I found a time lapse of hair ice growing.
