βThis the season to be jolly, and hopefully youβll get to experience a white Christmas this year (unless you live down South, where youβll have a very sandy Christmas), whether that means ice, snow, or a combination of both.
In order for ice to freeze, it needs to just be the right temperature. It also has to be the perfectΒ wind chill and humidity level. ButΒ when it happens, snowΒ can form into a dazzlingly beautiful piece of artwork createdΒ by Mother Nature herself! Whether ice forms on berries, flowers, buildings, or even perfect circles of ice bubbles, itβs always a treat to step outside and witness the magic of how snow takesΒ shape on various objects.
Itβs also pretty darn magical to see just how snow and ice crystals look under an electron microscope. No one snowflake is exactly the same nor are any of these unique, naturally-formed ice and snow formations!
Thanks to Earth Porm for many of these stunning finds and facts.
Please SHARE these fabulous crystal-like creationsΒ with all of your loved ones this winter!
1. Leaf After Frozen Rain
2. Frozen Bubble
A Washington mom tried blowing bubbles with her 7-year-old son in freezing temperatures, and the results were pure magic!
3. Rabbit Frost
Also known as a frost flower, these form on plants during freezing nights as the moisture travels up through the plant.
4. Frozen Bubbles Suspended Below Abraham Lake, Alberta, Canada
These bubbles form when methane gas released by decomposed vegetation at the bottom of the lake freeze.
5. Snow Roller
Snow rollersΒ are rare, and form when large snowballs are blown by the wind into big shapes such as this, picking up materials along the way.
6. Frozen Lighthouse
7. Ice Blossoms
8. Frozen Leaf
9. Frozen Berries
10. Frozen Cobweb
11. Frozen Apple Blossoms
12. Frozen Pond
Please SHARE these magical ice and snow formations with everyone you know!
