Very fine snow and a bit of sun. Beautiful.


What i was seeing was not snow. The sky was cloudless.
It was the water molecules in the air itself freezing

I just pressumed it was very very fine snow and as I said it was sunny but I just pressumed, again that there were some clouds up there somewhere. But isn't a snowflake just rather pretty frozen water molecules?

Anyway, I definately saw sparkly stuff in my back garden when it sure was cold!

Its definitely something to do with tiny particles freezing, i did find a link explaining it but I've lost it.

Last week ton the radio the weather chap was talking about supercooled water - not snow.

The presenter said he'd never heard of before in however many years of listening to the forecasts.Wether chap said it's very rare it happens, has to be exactly right amount of moisture i the air and to be very cold.
Reckon it could have been that.

Or you had bee drinking..... )
