LoL the jump scare I had when the tiny mouse jumped out made me giggle. Those crystals are gorgeous!

was the most interesting thing. (i hate snow. comes near the end of October, stays till May. just looks like white, cold sand. even makes snow drifts. Basically a sand dune of snow, that can't even support the weight of a cat. its so fine that it looks like a river of snow on the highway.)

The mouse jumpscare 😂

Hey Cody! This is typically called hoar frost, and is one of the main causes of avalanches when snow packs on top of hoar frost.

A natural lab experiment that most of us would have not seen and Cody was luckly about and took the time to share and explain to us how it happened. Thank you Cody, keep crunching on :)

I’ve seen snow like this a couple times, but never with such large crystals. Absolutely stunning!

The huge aspect of the glittery snow is the stereography. One eye sees totally different sparkles than the other one which confuses our brains a lot. That's why it's so pretty.

That's pretty wild. Never seen snow like that before

I have never seen such beautiful snow! The long needle-like crystals are amazing!

When awkward is part of your brand. 😉 Cody is great, I can always count on him for a smile.

As always. Thanks for sharing Cody!

Mouse: "It's a life or death situation, I must make my escape" Cody: "Look at these crystals though"

Thank you for showing this, cody. I live in a tropical country and ive never seen snow in real life and had no ideia this could happen.

You know it's freaking cold when the snow behaves like sand

That was a really concise, straight forward explanation of the phenomenon. Another great job, Cody! Thank you!

Thanks for the heart attack at the end there, Cody! 🤣

Never expected a jump scare in your videos. 2 videos in a day is fantastic!

That looks amazing, I used to have this one steep hillside in my yard that would grow these until they conglomerated into a delicate crust layer and I never really thought about why it would form but I'd almost always break off a piece and move it around in the sunlight. I'm not sure I ever would've recalled that memory without this video, thank you Cody and thanks for explaining the phenomenon too

Haha, the most adorable jump scare ever.

Man I jumped so hard when the mouse came out! Keep up the good work Cody, love seeing these new videos!

Incredible! Thanks for sharing, Cody!

your sense of wonder and amazement is as pure as the recryst'd snow💙

Thank you. I learned something. So funny to be around smart people

ICE FEATHERS! ..... AHHHHHH!!!! Jump scare! That mouse... uh boy. :) I caught an occasional glint of what you were speaking of so I am CERTAIN that in person it must be a fabulous sight. Peaceful Skies.

mmmm. The crunch on that snow sounds so good.

Thank you for explaining something I've always wondered about but thought was too complicated to research.

It's like grass snow. I bet it looked amazing in person!

I really appreciate this. Snow where I am, has always been deposited from above. I had never dreamt that snow could happen a different way.

Cody, you're just a big smart kid and it warms my heart

What a world we live in! Thank you for sharing and teaching us.

You have such a good science eye Cody, I love these random vignettes you make.

I've seen these long growths on tree limbs/twigs when conditions are right... but never "reflected" on it also growing on snow. Nice!

Awesome insight and explanation, thank you!

always fun to see the tiny things around Chicken Base!

All snow looks alien to me where I live, but that definitely looks different than any snow I've seen on a TV screen! Looks like frozen grass, except way cooler

Cool things on our Earth! One can only imagine what the fine details are on the surfaces of ice moons like Enceladus or Europa.

That mouse jumpscare out of nowhere!

Gorgeous!

It looks like brush strokes in a painting. No joke that is really cool.

Fascinating and beautiful at the same time... so cool. (Literally)

very cool, I have never seen snow form like that. I appreciate the lesson, and the jump scare was fun.

It is always amazing to see the different types of snow in Utah. Thanks for sharing.

I've seen this effect here in the UK when we had a cold blast about 15 or so years ago (the one that made "super-efficient" condensing boilers stop working, cos the externally-routed condensate pipes froze solid!), I went out on a walk in the cold weather and noted a lot of the untouched laying snow had grown these long crystals like this, it was quite an interesting sight to see, never knew how it formed, but now I do... :D

Super cool (pun intended) how you were able to use the shadow of the tree to help confirm the phenomena! Also, that mouse scared the shit out of me.

Really cool! I had no idea that sublimating ice/snow can cause this. Altough I'm quite familar with sublimation. For example thin layers of ice and snow on streets often tend to vanish over time (especially if it's sunny and windy) - even if the temperature never goes above freezing. It never melts and makes the street wet, but just vanishes and leave the asphalt dry (which is often nice as it also means the friction driving or walking on it will be pretty like summer on the dried up parts). Also if food is forgotten in the freezer for too long in a plastic bag (for example bread). It dries out while much of the water vapour never leave the bag either - the vapour condensate again and build a layer of frost on the inside of the bag.

It looks like glass grass. It's beautiful.

I've never seen this despite living in cold, cold Canada. I've seen something similar after foggy nights when the frost falls off the trees, but never crystals standing up like that!

Thank you for the video ! ☺♥

Beautiful.

Huh. I never knew I needed to know this. Thanks, Cody!

We get that here, too. We also get morning dew condensing like that onto frozen cobwebs.

lol the youtube compression hates your glittery snow... What a fascinating and complex mechanism you've demystified here! Us Floridians can only stare in wonder at our screens thinking 40F is so freakin cold, it's gotta be just a few degrees from absolute zero, right!? lol

That's beautiful, thanks Cody

These formations are called "Penitentes" and are named after a Catholic tradition where men dress in white costumes and pointy hats as part of a ceremony of penance. I believe they still carry the tradition in the Philippines.

Very cool video. Beautiful affect that leads to all sorts of interesting questions

This reminds me of a vacation I went on in my youth. We stopped by Arches National Park in the early spring. Similar structures had formed on the patches of snow making the whole landscape shimmer and sparkle as we hiked around the reddish brown sandstone.

Where I live we get plenty of snow and rarely hoar frost, but I've never seen snow turn into hoar frost before

I love these videos. Learning something I’ve always kinda wondered: why some snow is like that. Thanks Cody!

Very interesting facts. Kind of reminds me of how rock formations form in a cave. Just a little bit different when you mentioned how the water read deposits on the Crystal and it just keeps getting longer and longer that's what came in my mind.

Reminds me of seeing needle ice when hiking. Warm water in the ground causes capillary action and the cold air freezes the water as it comes out of the ground leaving ice needles!

That's really neat. I've seen something sorta similar on the frozen lake next to our town, while the ice was still fresh and smooth and hadn't been covered by snow. But instead of tiny grass-like structures, it formed fewer but much much larger flower-like structures. It might have been just due to freezing fog instead of this sublimation process (or maybe it was the ice sublimating in the sun), but it was also fascinating.

I didn't know snow could do that. I love the way it looks.❤

It's like an inverted ice sickle. Neat!

Wow!!!! Did not know and absolutely love this info!!! Makes perfect sense 😊

Thanks for the explanation on how that forms. That's some cool stuff I can share with my kids and grandkids. Also, most epic jump scare. Lol.

That looks incredible!

snow grass good addition to my something i'd like to see in person bucket list

TIL! Have seen the phenomenom before, but haven't thought about it deeply. Several of the wonders that dihydrogenmonoxide have come to play togheter. Keep up the good work Cody!

Cheers from down under! Would like to feel and experience snow sometime. Doesn’t snow often in Australia

It's nice to see Robo Cody's new voice and communication update working in the field. Hope the real Cody was warm in the hab

Awesome always a great day when Cody posts videos love watching brother glad you are doing good thanks for sharing

I see this in my freezer. I've seen it in winter time on a small scale, but never like this! And also didn't know it was because of the subimation happening in the ground. I always thought it was just the regular moisture in the air. Thanks for sharing!

Reminds me of when i had freezing fog at my place when there was already snow on the ground. Absolutely massive crystals like that

That mouse scared the hell out of me 😂😂

I literally JUMPED for that little cute mouse

It doesn't get nearly cold enough for anything like that to happen here, we barely get a couple days of snow as it is, but this is super cool to see! Also mouse jumpscare AAAAAH!!!!!

Very cool. Thank you Cody!

Glad to see Cody using gloves here. Snow is dangerous stuff.

The long tube/spike snow is always fun, gives the landscape a unique texture.

I've lived all my life in Canada and I've never seen snow do that before! Probably because we don't tend to get just a little bit of snow very often... It usually comes in snowstorms that lay it pretty thick.

Like a small forest of snow trees! You should build an earth ship like home base at chickenhole, that be too sick! Love you Cody

This is one of my favorite types of snow/frost. It doesn't happen often where I live but it's cool! Didn't know that was how it formed :)

When the mouse did a better jump scare than most horror games XD Fun little video, thanks for sharing!

It's beautiful! Never seen that. And thanks for the explanation!

even in Canada having snow every year, i never seen snow like that, reminds me of slush but without the water binding it!

Amazing and clear explanation!

We just saw the same phenomenon yesterday and wondered how it got there 😄 Thanks for explaining 😇

Awesome video Cody! This was so incredible

I have pet mice and the jumpscare still got me. Spent the whole video reading comments about it, knew it was coming when i saw the dirt patch snd everything

That mouse gave me a serious jump scare. 🤣🤣

That is so cool! I had no idea snow could do this.

Wow they're almost like feathers!

Dind't expect a jump scare from Cody :D

That is neat! Thanks for sharing. I'm sure it is way prettier in person.

Beautiful stuff

Looks amazing, Cody. We had 35C here today. Thanks for sharing.
