I have been contacted by a friend of mine living in Stainmore 1400ft up
in the Cumbrian Pennines. This morning he has found some ice chards in
his garden and would like to know where they may have come from.

Need more pictures really. We had freezing fog this morning, the rime
noticably built up on the trees from 0700 to 0800. It then got above freezing
and melted.

Unless Staimore is on the approach to an airfield I don't think it would have
been ice from an aircraft. Around here, apart from the RAF, all the planes
are cruising at around 30,000', any ice that forms doesn't fall off until the
plane decends into warmer air.
