[pianotech] How does fog freeze?

[Scott Gray]

Well... You've had fog accumulate on the windshield?  Right?  Well if 
the surface that the accumulation is accumulating on is frozen..  the 
fog or moisture is frozen!...and the layers just build up.  Just like 
black ice.  The car gets sugar coated.. the side of the house facing the 
wind get's coated and frozen. It's kinda cool if you don't have to be 
out there.  Even your face starts to feel the ice/fog hitting it, and 
that smarts too! I've had this happen with wind and no wind but it's 
usually really cold anywhere from +20 to -20.

Your right.. you can fall for it.. cuz man it gets slick!.. Wow!

As far as I can see.. it's a beautiful day here.. bright sun and 22° and 
windy! (see pics)

Merry Christmas to All!

Scott
