Today we had the neatest looking thing, the weather channel called it freezing fog. It made these beautiful ice crystals on everything. Unfortunately I couldn't get out in the morning to get pix before the fog burned off, but I did snap a few pix before the ice crystals melted away. My camera doesn't have a macro feature, so these were the best I could get.

I did the right thing by setting you free
But the pain is very deep.
If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
I miss you
I hear you whimper in your sleep
I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.
Fur as dark as the night.
Join me on this flight.
Paws of love that follow me.
In my heart you'll forever be.

How I wish I could hold you near.
Turn back time to make it so.
Hug you close and never let go.

I saw that on the news last night. It is foggy here this morning but it don't freeze that much in the deep south.

We had that around here too & it caused many wrecks on I69. Fog so
thick you could barely see the car in front of you & cars & semis trying to
drive normal Interstate speed.Thankfully, I was not on the road then.

LOL we still don't have nearly as much snow as I'd like to have, but at least I don't have to look at the dying grass anymore instead I get to look at the squirrel & bird tracks in the snow which is much better!Originally Posted by dukedogsmom

As others in the Midwest have said, "We had that here yesterday!"
It WAS gorgeous! However, the fog was so thick that there were many car accidents. School was even cancelled! I was out at noon, and the fog was still fairly thick!
But boy, that ice on the trees was beautiful!
Nice pics!

Cool pics. I would return the favor by showing photos of us sweating in Florida, but it isn't as photogenic!

Up here we call it hoarfrost. No wonder my friend in Mass had no idea what I was talking about!
From Wikipedia:
Hoar frost (sometimes hoarfrost) refers to the white ice crystals, deposited on the ground or exposed objects, that form when the air is moist and surface is cold. Hoar frost is often seen on cold, clear autumn nights.
Hoar frost does not occur exclusively in nature. Hoar frost is also found in and around freezers particularly in industrial cold storage facilities. It occurs in adjacent rooms that are not well insulated against the cold and around entry locations where humidity and moisture will enter and freeze instantly depending on the freezer temperature.
Hoar frost is similar in appearance to rime ice, but the two are distinct. In formation of hoar frost, the water vapour condenses through deposition directly to solid ice whereas rime ice is formed following initial condensation into liquid droplets. Thus, hoar frost is formed when the dew point is warmer than surface but colder than the air temperature, and colder than freezing point. The formation of frost is an example of meteorological deposition.
Hoar Frost is a common cause of avalanches when it forms at the snow's surface and subsequent layers of snow fall on top of it. The layer of hoar frost consists of angular crystals that do not bond well to each other or other layers of snow, causing upper layers to slide off under the right conditions, especially when upper layers are well bonded within themselves, as is the case in a slab avalanche.

Catty1 - thanks for the informative post explaining this neat phenomenon! When I was asking hubby if he'd seen it he also called it Hoar Frost, he said years ago when his family lived in Alaska they had that alot. Until a few years ago I don't recall ever having seen it before. My pix from before weren't so good either. lol
According to my photo information these were taken in Feb. 2005.
Love you and STILL miss U
Those are beautiful!
