Hoar Frost So Interesting And Beautiful
Hello everyone sorry about the delay in between posts, but Saskatchewan is a very extreme environment. You can have beautiful weather one day then a blizzard the next! Something I have never experienced before in my life. Moving out here from B.C has been an eye opener for sure. I was a pampered pet in Victoria B.C with temperatures never dipping below -5!!! Out here though I have already in NOVEMBER I might add experienced -23 without the wind chill factor. GREAT SCOTT that's cold...keeps me indoors let me tell you. Plus when I have gone outside in my many layers your face goes numb within 15 minutes, so I have to go in and out all day to get pictures that I would like to take, which of course takes up allot of time. In these next photos I would like to show you Hoar Frost...what is that you say???? Well apparently out on the Prairies they have this. The frost is sooooooooo thick it looks like snow, but it's not it's frost!!!! Something I have never heard of, but very common here. Enjoy these extreme photos!!! I think I managed to give you a variety to view. Have a fantastic day! Hugs Crista

Crista, almost worth the discomfort these are absolutely stunning. Beats rain and fog.
ReplyDeleteWow beautiful scenery Crista. you live in a fantastic place! Your new header is splendid!
ReplyDelete...it's beautiful. It does look like the trees are coated with snow! Love your little Chickadee header!
ReplyDeleteI think hoar frost always makes for spectacular scenes which you have captured beautifully. We only get that sort of effect every now and then. Mind you I don't fancy the idea of -23 with or without added windchill.
ReplyDeleteMy prairie Girl, this now makes it official, it is an extreme place for sure. Your pictures are beautiful. you could not have described the weather any better....january is a time that brings even the cooler weather....and I agree with you....great scott! keep warm my friend.
ReplyDelete@ Adrian ~ Well thank you, but you need to come here and experience the cold..honest you can't feel your face after 15mins and starts to hurt!!! What's with that?
ReplyDelete@ Chris ~ Thank you that chickadee had no fear, it basically landed on my camera! the poor thing was freezing and was busy eating the seeds I put out for them.
@ Kelly ~ Thank you and yes Hoar frost looks like snow had me completely fooled.
@ John ~ What do you mean you don't fancy -23? Your missing all the fun my friend :) Glad you enjoyed the pictures.
@ Cinner ~ you totally made me laugh cinner calling me a prairie girl! I'm not sure I like the official feeling of it all LOL. Oh I had no idea what people went through out here, now when people say you have to experience real cold to understand....NOW I UNDERSTAND!!! NOW HELP ME FIND MY LONG JOHNS!!!!!!!!!!!!
