White frost

Drove from Leeds to Scarborough today,
and the hedges and trees along the route were white frosted lace,
a harsh frost covered all, hanging from the branches and the leaves,
a wondrous site, something I have never seen before,
in trees reaching up 100 feet or more,
sometimes white emerging from freezing fog,
at other times the sky a winter blue,
and along the hedges roes a white covering,
frosted edges reaching across white fields,
white on white emerging from white.

Temperature on the car thermometer was -5 to -7. Check out this weather page;
