The amazing ice graffiti found after a freezing cold night

Jack Frost has a decidedly mischievous streak in his character, it seems.

For when Robert Baker went outside on Wednesday morning, he found his car had been sprayed with dramatic ice graffiti. Frost had tagged the windscreen and roof with the characteristic fronds and swirls of fern frost, which forms during the coldest nights.

Car windows and paintwork are good heat conductors and water droplets often form in very cold weather. Tiny imperfections such as scratches and dust influence their arrangement, so when they freeze, they form beautiful patterns.
