The winter season 2009-2010 seems promising concerning
snow and ice. After a brief wintry spell with loads of snow in December 2009 (check
the weather reports of Dec. 17
and Dec. 20), the
classic thaw of Christmas and the days afterwards did occur once more. But
from New Years day on, the weather charts turned again wintry. In Flanders
light snowfall did occur at large scale on January 3. Also the next day -
evening, some flurries could be counted and on this particular evening
tried once more to capture one of them in the dark on my cams sensor with
flashlight.
With an air temperature of -2C, this picture shows a magnified snowflake
just before touchdown against the snow cover as unsharp background,
accentuating the effect of depth perception. For more info about formation of snowflakes, you're kindly referred to the MWP of March 2005 |
