Jack Frost
Have you seen Jack Frost?
If your windows have a delicate and feathery pattern of ice, or if you see branches and other outdoor objects covered in beautiful ice crystals, you have!
I remember as a child being told that Jack Frost is a playful winter elf who skips around during winter "painting" windows with lovely icy designs. He is also mentioned in the song The Christmas Song:
"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose."
According to Farmers Almanac, this ice magic occurs when the temperature on surfaces such as windows, trees, cars and grass blades drops below freezing. This causes water vapor on these surfaces to freeze. This happens on cold nights when the night sky has no clouds to hold in the warmth.
Jack Frost may be visiting soon!
