slender, almost needle-like ice crystals on Philadelphus fruits (detail). Please view on black.

 

Hoarfrost or white frost is a deposit of needle-like ice crystals formed on the ground, grasses, trees and bushes, by direct condensation of air humidity (i.e. fog) at temperatures below freezing point (-6°C this morning).
