I don't know what this kind of formation is called. Rime came to mind but that is more ' ice deposited by wind' ..... I think...

It happens in the spring and fall . When the ground freezes it seems to squeeze the water out and these upsidedown icicles form ;D

Bunny,
I have aways known them as Frost Columns. But I don't know if that is the proper name for them.  :-\

Thanks, Chet.

They fascinate me . I think they ought to have a special name from a fairy tale or something.

They appear overnight and vanish quickly and have such a delicate and variable structure.  :)

  Kinda related to Hoar Frost. Here's a write up, sorta.

   Frost often appears as a light feathery deposit of ice, often of a curious and delicate pattern. The dates on which killing frosts (frost destructive to vegetation and staple agricultural products) occur vary considerably.

I was thinking Hoar frost too but from a google search tonight,it looks like we tend to use it as a blanket term here.
SB,
Do the columns sound like breaking glass/plastic when you step on it?

Dat ain't Hoar Frost as I know it FDH.  Hoar Frost appears on bushes and trees, usually on a real cold foggy morning when the moisture freezes on the branches and twigs. It's real pretty and resembles a flocked tree.  Dem Tings Sprucebunny took a picture of are pure ice.  Note:  I'm trying ta write so Chet can unnnerstan.

Yup....pretty crunchy :D

Next time I see them I'll be sure to get closer and poke them with a stick. Might sound different than just stepping on them :D

Hoar frost and rime ice form on THINGS....

Not necessarily, according to the info I googled up  ::) ::) ::)

  It also stated that it is formed from moist gasses that rise from Things, grass, leaves, etc., and forms little delicate columns of "HOLLOW" stemmed structures, rising from the ground ???  ::) ::) ::)  I forgot all them "Yankee" things, long ago.  ::) ;D :D :D :D

We get that sort of frost a lot here.
It usually forms on moist dirt areas, and because it usually melts every day it doesn't get that long.
If it forms on bare clay it usually lifts a crust of loose dirt and moss on the ends of the crystals.
Then it melts during the day and turns the otherwise dry track into a slippery mess of mud and ice  ::)

I think FDH has got the right reference, it seems to form here from moisture escaping out of the soil.

You left that part out the first time , Harold . Moisture rising would explain it. I'll have to beep in on it and see if it's hollow.

Ya, Ian, I've seen it lift up a layer of moss or dirt.

So what is the origins of the term " hoar frost" ? I still think it should have a more magical name ;D

I used to see this kind of ice in the spring when the ground was soaked and then it turned cold again.  I also used to see it in the fall when I was hunting. I think you all are right about the source. Their is a mist rising because the ground is warm, and then it freezes.

We don't see that down here...  ::)
So, how did I end up here anyway?

SwampDonkey

I agree with Chets explanation with the emphasis on frost. ;D It's a big problem with certain types of plantation scarification where all the litter and fermation layer is scalped off the topsoil. I've seen the frost pop the trees out of the ground as if the seedling was just throwed on the ground. To prevent it there has to be a good bunch of organic mixed in the soil or a thin layer of duff. :o
