frost

The morning frost glistens, and—in a clever device—the low sun glimmers through a row of unseen, leafless trees behind the artist, casting crisscrossing, rhythmic shadows on the furrows.

Air and ground frosts have fallen by around 25% since the 1980s, and snow days are becoming increasingly rare across the UK.

With a frost expected, areas where showers or rain and sleet have left the ground damp are at risk of ice becoming a hazard on roads and pavements.

My heart slowly freezes in the frost of sadness that has weighed me down the past few weeks.

Now the frosted landscape glittered in the light of a moon that was only one night short of being full.
