Rime Ice

Today was spectacular in the Bella Coola Valley.  The temperature dropped overnight to the -6 C range and all the cloud cleared out through the night.  All the fresh snow from this week was highlighted by the low angle sun which really gave nice definition to the various mountain peaks.  Because Mt Nusatsum (8448') sticks out into the sky so much it had its own unique treatment that the other valley peaks didn't receive as much of.  The peak was coated in rime ice today deposited in the last couple days by super cooled water droplets hitting it.  It was really eye catching today.  Grizzly
