After the persistent frost since the beginning of the year with particularly cold nights, suddenly 2 warm days. The rain on the third day turned into rain ice when it hit branches and plant parts that were still frozen.
In contrast to freezing rain, which falls from the sky as icy drops, when it rains in winter, ice sometimes forms on the still frozen plants and on the ground.
A glittering world emerges… Trees and branches seem to be covered with glass, and ice drops that separate from the branches in the sun fall to the ground with a clinking and crackling sound.
