Hoarfrost

Fog in February seems unusual, but it did create fabulous hoarfrost yesterday.

According to meteorologist, Chris Franks, hoarfrost forms when there is lots of moisture in the air and then the temperature drops below freezing. The moisture freezes when it comes into contact with branches, weeds, car windows, whatever. There has been lots of moisture in the atmosphere the last couple of days, so the hoarfrost was able to grow long and spiky. It never lasts long, but it's beautiful when it's here.
