Very cool pictures everyone, thanks!!!  

 

Nice pictures of the lake from your house Scotty!  Cool.

 

Fog accumulating just as moisture that requires windshield wipers yes.
Freezing rain on the windshield, sleet, and then from all of that, black ice
yep.  But, I can’t recall ever seeing the stuff in the pictures and I’m an
old fart!  You shut up Scott. I know what you’re thinking!

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

Really.  Not that I can remember anyway.   Didn’t know it was possible.
Either that or, I’m just being BS’ED right now and I’m falling for it!!!  J


 

Scotty and I are friends.  I started out to harass him a bit like he does to
me but then this became interesting!

The UK has had a cold December. In the West of Scotland, temperatures have
not been rising above freezing (0C) all day. Last week, we had days of fog.
Moisture condensed out of the freezing fog to produce fronst crystal
formations the like of which my work colleagues and I (all in our 50s) agree
we have never seen.

Sorry this is off-topic, but its beautiful!

Remember, this is frost, not snow.

Best wishes,

David Boyce.





How does fog freeze?  Can you see through it when it freezes?  Or, do you
drive into a cement fog wall?  J
