RIGHT: Winter on Roan
Mountain can be brutal, with
temperatures that can drop well
below zero, and winds can be
dangerous. Once the temperature
drops below 32 degrees, the
slow drips that trickle down the
mountain start to form icicles as
seen in this image. The cold also
freezes the moisture in the air,
forming hoarfrost, a deposit of ice
crystals left on objects exposed to
the free air, such as grass blades,
tree branches, or leaves.

LOWER RIGHT: Blackwater
Canyon, West Virginia, as
captured during the first
significant snow fall of last year,
forming a blend of white and
evergreen colors. A snowflake
starts as a single crystal that
forms when water freezes. The
crystal will collide with other
crystals lumping together and
growing larger as they fall,
forming the snowflake. All
snowflakes are hexagonal, but
part of the allure of snowflakes is
that they are all unique.

LEFT: The blues and golds of
winter are eerily refracted in
this icicle from Blue Hole Falls,
West Virginia. The ice bends
the shades of blue light from the
sky and brown light from the
hillsides. The effect is a stunning
kaleidoscope of color.
