Great photo!
You're right about it looking festive. When I got to work early this morning it was picturesque looking over the river with the church spire white with frost and the hills and trees white.

Re: First Frost

My young Lab puppy had its first walk in frosty weather this morning,,, After getting over the excitement of realising the paths were slippy and doing a fair bambi impression, she spent next 10 mins trying to lick the hoar frost of the grass. Then she barked at the deep puddle as it wouldnt let her lap it up as usual... Quite an exciting morning walk really

Re: First Frost

No frost here today but the sunrise was great - one big red ball coming up from the sea...that turned into a warm orange sky...only it's now clouded over!

Re: First Frost

Very frosty here this morning. I went for a long walk, and there was still a hard frost and ice on puddles in some shaded places this afternoon.

Re: First Frost

Very cold but no frost - water bowls frozen over tough. Beautiful sunrise - a big red globe rising from the sea. Tried to take a photo on the mob (no camera) but it wouldn't come out...just grey sky...anyone know why?

It was the heaviest frost so far here in n. e. Hampshire; down to -6 this morning, but glorious in the sunshine when I took the dog out for a long walk over the heath in Yateley Country Park.

Oh yes!

The day I read this I could see the sun rise at the foot of the valley while I was sitting at my computer, with the hills white with frost, and mist in the valley below them.

I was out in the neighbouring valley the other day. It was so beautiful it
beat many a summer's day. :-)

Yesterday my friends and I, being hardy nutcases, had planned an outdoor party. Hmm, I thought, driving through fog. Bet this won’t last long!

Guess what? As I went uphill to the party, I emerged in sunlight above the clouds, and while we enjoyed ourselves we could see trees appearing and disappearing in mist with bright sunlight on the hills above them. Magic!

Re: First Frost

It was a very sharp frost last night with some frog not fun for driving in. woke up this morning to much the same...It took its time to clear and left us with a dull and damp day ahead..just leaves you wanting to stay inside in the warm.
