Baby It's Cold Outside!

It may not be December 21 yet, but it is definitely winter! It's a chilly -4˚ today. My front and back gardens are frozen! Even though I'm not a fan of the cold, I have to admit the layer of white ice crystals is pretty beautiful.

Just after taking this photo I exhaled right onto this iced spiderweb.  It instantly melted into water and tore apart falling to the ground.  The weight of the ice was being supported by the structure of the ice crystals, but couldn't sustain the pull when the ice liquified.
