St Patrick’s day – Riming
17th March 2015
The sun tried hard to break through the clouds today but it only managed it on a few occasions, however, it was a pleasant, dry winter’s day. The snowpack is generally stable, firm and icy in most places above 750 metres.
Riming;Â an opaque coating of tiny, white, granular ice particles, caused by the rapid freezing of supercooled water droplets on impact with an object.
Nice patterns of riming on boulders
