FROSTY MORNING SNOW AT SINGALILA NATIONAL PARK

SNOW FROST :: FROSTY MORNING SNOW

Snow frost or Frosty morning snow is really cool to see on your eye . When i was at my trek or trip to Sandakphu I found frosty morning snow or snow frost at Singalila National Park located in West Bengal, India. many years ago it was very cold season in November . Early sunrise and early sunset was their i see. Around 4-5 pm it was sunset and almost dark in sky. In November its winter season so very cold and sometimes temperature goes down by 3-4 degree. When you wake up and see red bush leaf are covered by snow frost. It was really amazing to see white snow frost on red leaf tree bush. At that time i don't have macro lens and also i used basic camera model of canon . But still its good to capture from any lens and camera

What is snow frost ?? ::
  • When a water on grass or trees made ice crystal by cold open air is called snow frost.
  • The water drops freeze by vaporation process by down the temperature. 
  • When the temperature down to freezing point a light frost made but when the temperature go below 25 degree or more for a long time the frost kills the roots and growth of plant. So that frost called Killing frost. 

The difference between snow and frost :: 
  • One thing you should note that you cannot call frost as a snow or snow as a frost.
  • Both are different however both are made form water vapor. 
  • The difference is snow is form high in atmosphere  around dust and some tiny parts and frost forms near to ground .


As i told i don't have macro lens that time so i cant get frost macro. But still i tried enough to get more details of frost. Morning time is good in winter season at sandakphu. Early morning snow falling and snow frost on leafs and also after sunrise morning mist rising in atmosphere. It was beautiful scenario at sandakphu where i can see Mt. Kanchenjunga from peak with morning mist. Well it is really good sign that I had seen Snow frost in India. There are also many places in India where you can find these type of frosty morning snow in Himalayas.

A snow frost on red leaf is really look awesome. Camera used canon 1000d with 18-55 and 55-250 mm lens.
