On the Road

We're having a solid stretch of clear nights. At this time of year, a clear night usually means the temperature is above freezing during the day, and below freezing at night. In some spots along our road, though, the trees shelter the road from the sun, and the frost doesn't burn off each day.

When that happens, I see things like this - frost that's accumulated on the leaves over more than one day. I think it's interesting that you get more ice accumulated at the edge of the leaf. Once I got to town, I spent some time pondering just why that might be.
