Well we've not had an awful lot of icy weather in my part of the world, but in 2010 we did - boy did we!!!! We had a really bitter hoar frost and it made beautiful patterns on ordinary mundane items......
Looking through the snow at the ice particles

Looking up through the snow at the ice crystals..............
Ice formed on the inside of my porch

The ice made some beautiful patterns on the porch window................
More intricate ice patterns on the glass

This was a fantastic pattern - it stayed for nearly four days - so beautiful..............
Frost and ice particles making a beautiful pattern

Even on a knot in the branch - the ice made it look so pretty...............
Ice and frost look beautiful on leaf

The weight of the ice crystals on the leaf made it bend down................
Ice particles on a tarpaulin make pretty patterns

An ordinary tarpaulin took on a fantastic pattern with these ice crystals.............
Frost on the leaves

See even normal everyday things like leaves and sticks look so different when covered with ice..
