It's all about the timing, great picture!

Refreshing post. Undeniably interesting, certainly mild. Thank you!

This is not possible

Garlands make sense now

This is absolutely possible. When only a little bit of the snow melts, but most is still solid, you'll have a combination that's functionally a solid but that loses some structural integrity. It would begin to slough off, but friction between the snowflakes and surface tension with the water will keep them from breaking apart. That only stops when there's too much water, which means less friction.

Oh wow tinsel has an origin story?

Clarification for the upvotes: this guy is making fun of the person who explained it. Pls downvote

Natural winter decorations!

The sun rises and brings heat warming the top of the snow, then everything freezes over again at night then it starts to melt again the next morning, that probably took weeks of melting then freezing to form such a solid pattern

I came across it on my walk and was like huh, mildly interesting. But interesting none the less. Glad you agree!

Haha

Clarification: you must be the up-vote sheriff? That guys explanation was impressive and deserves the title, at the very least.

Sorry about that mate, it's just that I've seen too many people getting karma they don't deserve, it's so fucking infuriating to me.

Sentences like the one you just wrote tend to be sarcastic in meaning on Reddit. I never thought you meant that literally.

All good, mate. Understood. I am literally surprised by the randomness of knowledge that people share, like this guy- he absolutely was dead on about the topic. I try to look at the good in all, it’s a good lens to view others in our crazy world. Cheers my friend- your well intentions are made.
