February Hoarfrost






The radio warned last night of heavy fog overnight, and sure enough, when I first woke at 4 AM there was a lovely thick fog highlighted by streetlights and silhouette shadows. At 6:30 AM there was the heaviest hoarfrost I've ever seen, with some ice crystals over an inch and a quarter long. Out I went, in PJs, sweatshirt, sneakers and camera, recording all I could stand before the cold chased me in. About an hour later out I went again, with sky clearing to blue and sun peeking through. By 10 AM a breeze had knocked it all to the ground.
