Monadnock White Dot Trail - Winter
Monadnock Winter - White Dot Rimed Cairn

|
The winds in this storm are so strong that the rime only forms on the portions of the rock protected from the wind, or where the wind and moisture slam directly into a rock surface. The rime is actually forming tiny windswept icicles on the lee side of the rock. On a couple of rocks, the rime has formed a collar around the edge of the rock's leeward face. The texture on the ground is formed by the granular snow and ice.
