The freezing fog again overnight led to another frosty morning, but meteorologists would actually call it rime ice and not hoar frost. Rime ice forms when the object, like trees limbs, and the air are both below freezing and liquid drops, like fog, are present. And the week of freezing fog has created a lot of white winter days.

It took until mid-morning, but the sun did break through to shine on the new heavy hoarfrost coating. And with temperatures in the upper twenties, it was a nice day for a winter walk.

There was finally a change today away from the gray as the sun shone down on the overnight’s frost. But the morning’s sun rays melted the icy grip of the frost and it quickly began to fall to the ground in its own little snow storm.

It may be a new year, but this morning looked just like the past few frosty days so apparently Mother Nature didn’t get the memo about it being the start of a brighter year.
