Life goes on despite the chill in the air, and compared to towns north of us - we are downright balmy.

Rio Grande GP40-2s No. 3102 and 3125 pull the eastbound Railblazer up a 2% grade on the Soldier Creek fill at Gilluly, Utah the evening of July 2, 1987. Trailer shipments include Nashville & Ashland City Railway and Southern Pacific "Golden Pig Service", among others. In the background, US Highway 6 takes a short cut to Soldier Summit on a steeper 4% grade, a right of way used by the D&RGW until 1913, when a line change cut the grade in half.

Spring cleaning in our backyard brought out the reptiles to enjoy this first 80 degree day of the season.

I guess you might all be getting bored with my varying degrees of blur in these woodlands…. This is a favourite spot of mine at this time of year and this time the sun peeped through the clouds for a very short while so I thought I'd post this one from that moment.

 

About this time last year I posted something similar and had an impolite comment from someone saying they couldn't understand why I would ruin the view of these lovely woods… I realise this stuff is not to everyone's taste ;o)

Hair ice (also known as ice wool or frost beard) is a type of ice that forms on dead wood and takes the shape of fine, silky hair. It is somewhat uncommon, and has been reported mostly at latitudes between 45 and 55°N in broadleaf forests. The meteorologist and discoverer of continental drift, Alfred Wegener, described hair ice on wet dead wood in 1918, assuming some specific fungi as the catalyst, a theory mostly confirmed by Gerhart Wagner and Christian Mätzler in 2005. In 2015, the fungus Exidiopsis effusa was identified as key to the formation of hair ice.

 

Formation

Hair ice forms on moist, rotting wood from broadleaf trees when temperatures are slightly under 0 °C (32 °F) and the air is humid. Each of the smooth, silky hairs has a diameter of about 0.02 mm and a length of up to 20 centimetres (7.9 in). The hairs are brittle, but take the shape of curls and waves. They can maintain their shape for hours and sometimes days. This long lifetime indicates that something is preventing the small ice crystals from recrystallizing into larger ones, since recrystallization normally occurs very quickly at temperatures near 0 °C.

 

The hairs appear to root at the mouth of wood rays (never on the bark), and their thickness is similar to the diameter of the wood ray channels. A piece of wood that produces hair ice once may continue to produce it over several years.

 

In 2015, German and Swiss scientists identified the fungus Exidiopsis effusa as key to the formation of hair ice. The fungus was found on every hair ice sample examined by the researchers, and disabling the fungus with fungicide or hot water prevented hair ice formation.[1] The fungus shapes the ice into fine hairs through an uncertain mechanism and likely stabilizes it by providing a recrystallization inhibitor similar to antifreeze proteins.

Cheveux de glace

Les cheveux de glace, ou chevelure de glace, sont le phénomène d'apparition de glace sous forme de filaments très fins, par temps de gel, à partir de morceaux de bois mort ou d'autre végétaux. Le phénomène est comparable mais distinct des pipkrakes, issues du sol et plus grossières. Les cheveux de glace sont différents du givre par leur apparence comme par leur formation.

 

Formation

La formation des cheveux de glace se produit dans des conditions météorologiques particulières : par gel modéré et lorsque le sol, très humide, n'est pas encore gelé. Le phénomène est rare et s'observe plutôt dans les sites ombragés et tôt le matin.

 

Les cheveux de glace apparaissent sur des végétaux particuliers, comme le bois mort de hêtre ou de chêne. Leur observation donne à penser que l'eau contenue dans le bois est expulsée à travers les pores du bois par son expansion à l'approche du point de congélation, et gèle sous forme de fils très fin au contact de l'air. Le mécanisme pourrait néanmoins être plus complexe et être lié à la présence de champignons sur ces bois en décomposition; en 2015, le champignon Exidiopsis effusa (en) a été identifié comme essentiel à ce mécanisme. La poussée de ces fils de glace peut avoir une force suffisante pour repousser l'écorce d'un bois mort. La formation est très fragile, elle se détruit au toucher ou au souffle et disparait naturellement par fonte ou sublimation si elle est exposée au soleil.

 

Historique

En 1918 Alfred Wegener évoque que le mycélium sur le bois en décomposition contribue au phénomène. En 2014, Christian Mäztler, physicien de l’université de Berne associé à Diana Hofmann, chimiste et Gisela Preuss, biologiste ont élucidé le mystère de leur formation.

Haareis, manchmal auch Eiswolle genannt, besteht aus feinen Eisnadeln, die sich bei geeigneten Bedingungen auf morschem und feuchtem Totholz bilden können. Anders als Hydrometeore (zum Beispiel Raureifkristalle) entsteht Haareis aus dem im Holz enthaltenen Wasser, nicht aus Luftfeuchtigkeit.

 

Ähnlich aussehende und häufig nicht genau unterschiedene Phänomene sind Bandeis (engl. ice ribbons, ice flowers) an Pflanzenstängeln und Kammeis (engl. needle ice) am Boden, die beide jedoch anders gebildet werden.

 

Entstehung

Wissenschaftlich ist die Entstehung des nur selten zu beobachtenden Haareises noch wenig erforscht. 1918 beschrieb der Meteorologe Alfred Wegener Haareis auf nassem Totholz. Er vermutete einen „schimmelartigen Pilz“ als Auslöser, was jedoch von anderen Wissenschaftlern angezweifelt wurde, die rein physikalische Prozesse wie bei der Entstehung von Kammeis als Ursache annahmen.

 

Eine biophysikalische Studie von Gerhart Wagner und Christian Mätzler bestätigte 2008 Wegeners Vermutung weitgehend. Demnach wird Haareis durch das Myzel winteraktiver Pilze (u. a. Schlauch- und Ständerpilze) ausgelöst, deren aerober Stoffwechsel (Dissimilation) Gase produziert, die das im Holz vorhandene leicht unterkühlte Wasser an die Oberfläche verdrängen. Dort gefriert es und wird durch nachdrängende, beim Austritt aus dem Holz ebenfalls gefrierende Flüssigkeit weitergeschoben. Dies geschieht ausschließlich bei Temperaturen knapp unter dem Gefrierpunkt, wenn das Wasser im Holz noch nicht gefroren ist, es an der geringfügig kälteren Umgebungsluft jedoch gefriert. Eine Randbedingung für die Haareisbildung ist außerdem hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit: Wenn die Luft nicht mit Wasserdampf gesättigt ist, sublimieren die feinen Eiskristalle kurz nach ihrer Bildung an der Holzoberfläche, so dass keine langen Haareiskristalle entstehen können. Eine Reproduktion von Haareis ist in Versuchen solange möglich, wie das Pilzmyzel im Holzkörper nicht abgetötet wird.

It really surprised me how cold it was in Lamar Valley. I'm no newbie to Yellowstone in the winter either.

It was a beautiful sunny day here today so we went over to Christchurch for a walk along the river

The morning 7th of February I woke up to see Amsterdam covered in a coat of fresh snow. The snow fell in sudden flurries and gusts and turned the world white and wonderful. With the canals in the city and occasional high winds, there can be a nip in the air, but packing gloves and a scarf should keep you warm enough. There is something very beautiful about Amsterdam in the winter. It snowed for the second time this winter in Amsterdam. Because the temperature was -4 degrees Celsius the snow stayed. The real feel temperature was -11 degrees Celsius cause there was a strong wind and drifting snow. It got more than a few centimeters of snow. The best advice is to stay indoors and turn the stove up a bit. Or of course to go outside to take some nice pictures. The snow is a rare highlight in these February dark days, especially when you have small children. It is quite difficult to come up with something fun in these Covid-19 lock-down days. After a while, sitting indoors becomes quite monotonous for such a toddler. This is a welcome change. The snow also provides a lot of fun for children here in centre of Amsterdam. Snowball fight, make snowmen or go sledding. All fun activities that children do in this beautiful snowy world.

 

Those who think away for a while can imagine themselves in Hendrick Avercamp's world today. As one of the first landscape painters of the 17th-century Dutch school, he specialized in painting the Netherlands in winter, The snow is during the lock-down days an uninhibited winter fun in the streets of Amsterdam. Since the first snow had stuck to the ground, the neighborhood has turned out for a carefree winter entertainment. The next days it will keep on snowing. Expected more than 17 cm snow in Amsterdam. Photo of boys go sledding taken at the Spinhuissteeg in the centre of Amsterdam.

 

Vanmorgen 7 februari werd ik wakker en zag Amsterdam bedekt met een laag verse sneeuw. De sneeuw die vannacht viel bedekte de wereld om ons heen wit en prachtig. Ik heb mijn camera gepakt en op pad gegaan in m'n buurtje. Ik geniet van het geluid van knarsende sneeuw onder mijn schoenen en het prachtige gezicht op de Amsterdamse grachtenpanden. Het is min vier graden en het blijft vandaag de hele dag sneeuwen. Met een stevige wind is de gevoelstemperatuur zelf -11 graden. Mijn handschoenen en m'n sjaal houden mij warm genoeg. Er is iets heel moois over Amsterdam in de winter. Amsterdam is bedolven onder dik pak sneeuw zoals hierboven in de Spinhuissteeg. Het beste advies is dan maar om lekker binnen te blijven en de kachel iets hoger te zetten. Of natuurlijk even naar buiten te gaan om wat mooie plaatjes te schieten. In Amsterdam heeft het nu voor de tweede keer deze winter gesneeuwd. Bij deze temperatuur blijft de sneeuw liggen. Er is meer dan enkele centimeters sneeuw gevallen. De sneeuw is een zeldzaam hoogtepunt in deze donkere dagen in februari, vooral als je kleine kinderen hebt. Het is best moeilijk om iets leuks te bedenken in deze Covid-19 lockdown-dagen. Binnen zitten wordt na een tijdje behoorlijk eentonig voor zo'n peuter. Dit is een welkome afwisseling. De sneeuw zorgt ook voor veel plezier voor kinderen. Sneeuwballengevecht, sneeuwpoppen maken of sleetje rijden. Allemaal leuke activiteiten die kinderen doen in deze prachtige besneeuwde wereld. Wie even wegdenkt, waant zich vandaag in de wereld van Hendrick Avercamp. De komende dagen blijft het sneeuwen. Verwacht meer dan 17 cm sneeuw in Amsterdam.
