Here's one for #MacroMonday:
Ice growing more than 10cm out of the ground!
One of the pictures from my recent trip to the US east coast.
It is apparently called #NeedleIce in English:

Ruth_Mottram - Ok mastodon, (or at least the part of it currently going through a big freeze), show me your strange ice pictures, your weird ice spikes, needle ice, hair ice and frazil ice, your beautiful ice crystals.
Is #icetodon a thing yet? It should be. I'll start.
#NeedleIce in the park today.. typically forms.when ground is warm (above zero) and air temperature cold (well below zero).
