Ice Hair

[trigger_andy]

See this each year in our area of Scotland but was really prolific today. The little ones loved it.

 

 

 

Mysterious "hair ice" is formed by fungus

Ice sometimes forms into hairy clouds that look like candy floss, and we now have an idea why

That’s crazy.

Never seen it before.

 

What did the temp drop to last night?

[Stubby]

So it only happens at 0 degrees and when the fungus is present below that it won't form ?  @trigger_andy

Think it was -2 during the night and -1 during the day. See it once a year but the first time out with the wee ones.

There's once place I work, it's out for most of winter!

Deciduous woodland, and a right frost pocket.

 

Always fun to tell someone who doesn't know what it is to pick it up - it just disappears in your hand.

Looks good, do you mill the larch yourself? Is it 6x6 posts and 4x2 rails?

Yeh, milled the Larch.

6x6 strainers post fixed in every 12m or so. 4x4 posts, some post fixed, some sunk 4’ some sunk 3’.

Need to go back and dig down and creote them all. I know it’s arse for tit but I had help now so took it.

4x1.5” rails and 1” slats.

nice job...finished that car yet [emoji16]

Which one? [emoji51]

No time for toys these days. Both sat gathering valuable “barn find dust”.
