Howdy from warm and sunny south central Texas,
Night before last, a mysterious and highly unusual form of precipitation was deposited by a rather strong and very chilly cold front moving through this area. Yesterday morning I awoke to find a porous and clumpy amalgamation of frozen water crystals blanketing the entire property. I have included a photo below. Within a matter of hours, with the rising sun and concurrently increasing ground radiation, this strange white substance simply melted away. I would like to know if anyone here (perhaps those living in colder, more northern climes than mine) has experienced this sort of meterological phenomenon before, and if so, is there a common name for it.
In other words, what the heck *is* this stuff? Thanks in advance.
