Hoar Frost...pictures added 01/19/10

The Hoar Frost has been SPECTACULAR around here the last couple days. I hope it is still here tomorrow. I will get outside and take some pictures, but I don't think I can truly capture what we are seeing around here. Everything has a "frosting" on it and it lasts all day.

I never heard of hoar frost before. I had to Google it. Very interesting. Looking forward to your photos if you get any.

UM Mikey, have you heard of frost before? LOL

Low 30s here - and that was the high! Brrrrrrr

We had a beautiful display Sunday and yesterday. I drove about 50 miles on Sunday to meet a friend and the trees by the side of the road were so beautiful. As I looked out my doorwall yesterday I noted how beautiful everything looked but then I was stopped by a sudden chill. As pretty as it is, I can't wait for spring. I am freezing and tired of the cold. :[IMG]/cold6.gi

In the past week, I've heard the birdies chirping for the first time in a long time.

Those photos are very cool.....pun intended....

Esther: About three or four weeks ago I saw frost on the rooftop of our neighbor's house.... Lots of snow on our local mountains. The ski resorts will be doing big business this weekend, assuming people are able to get up to the snow after all these wonderful rain storms we have been having.

We have a lot of whores down here but not much frost.
