Definitely a small sundog (sunpuppy?) there, wouldn't you say, @sellathechemist ?

@philipcball provides a typically deep assessment of medium density amorphous ice, explaining its implications with far greater understanding and insight than I ever could. Thanks, Phil! You've given us more to chew over. chemistryworld.com/opinion/new

Very amused this morning to find that our MDA ice paper in Science is being reported under "weird news" by the Daily Star, no less, with a strong focus on aliens. Striking to see what they think is "related content". And the irony of the fact that the website is blocked by BT's parental controls. I had to view the dodgy site through UCL network. 😂 dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-new

It's ice, Captain, but not as we know it. A glorious sample of a freshly made ice clathrate. Look at those glorious crystals!

Another set of hockey sticks. Snow loss in the Alps hasn't been this great in 600 years. HT @iceadvice nature.com/articles/s41558-022

Want to know how high and unseasonal temperatures have been in Switzerland? Here’s a skating rink near Lausanne Station. That’s not water ice. It’s white polypropylene.

Just chatting to an Austrian colleague just back from a visit to his home town (by train) for Xmas. He was quite down about the absence of snow where he grew up. As a child he could ski down to his house. This year even the upper resorts are almost snow free. These photos tell the story, HT @rahmstorf nzz.ch/fotografie/schneemangel

Bloody hell. I had totally forgotten that Robert de Niro spots sun dogs at the start of The Deerhunter. The image in the film is terrible. But hey, it's not often that ice crystal phenomena appear in a film! I wonder if @icey_mark knows of any other sundog films? Atanarjuat? No. Nanook of the North? I don't think so. Others?

@ZLabe That's quite a graphic. May I "borrow" it for my ever-evolving talk?
