Frost

So we don't necessarily get lots of snow, but we do get lots of frost! In fact, everyone here either uses hot water or De-Icer to defrost the windshield because it takes a very long time to scrape I guess since it is a such a light filmy ice that is stuck on there. This is a picture I took the other morning of the frost on the leaves in our back garden. Frost is very common here on a daily basis in the winter because all of the moisture from the very damp air gets frozen on any surface it sits on. Very often there is frost not only in the mornings with the dew etc. but also in the evening. Last night we had to defrost the car when we went out around 7:00 just from the moisture freezing on the car within the last couple of hours. It does look pretty, but it is very slippery on the pavement. You have to watch out because it is just like black ice only so thin that you can really barely see it. Merry also likes to lick the frost on the leaves if he is allowed outside. We let him out yesterday and he went around crunching the frosty leaves and trying to eat the blades of grass that were covered with frost. I am enjoying the frosty mornings!
