Hoar-able Weather!

[tbern]

just a few pics of the Hoar Frost we have been getting. lots of fog, freezing fog/drizzle, or freezing rain also. it's getting old in a hurry. going back into the deep freeze starting this Saturday, with daytime temps around 0* or not above 0* for a week or so. first pic is of my Davis weather station.

Crazy, here I am complaining about having to go out a smoke some meat and it is only 45*.

My favorite weather phenomenon. Just learned the word a couple years ago.

It does make for some nice pictures but I'm starting to dislike it more and more as I age. Gonna have to get the hand warmers installed on the ATV before the weekend or its going to be some brisk rides for ice fishing attempts.

Pretty pictures, but lousy weather.
Crazy weather this winter. It's sitting right about melting here, and all us log trucks are spinning out on the slightest incline.

Love the hoar frost. I spent a winter in Fairbanks, AK. The trees look like that nearly all winter long due to the temp inversion and the city getting nearly no wind in the winter.

It will also scare the crap out of you in the mountains though as it is one of the leading contributors to prime avalanche conditions. Nothing like skinning up the side of a mountain and the whole hillside settles a couple inches as a hoar frost layer colapses.

I'm thinking you're lucky...I saw sunlight in your pics! Saw the sun here briefly this morning then back to gray and sullen looking. Dense fog for last 3 or 4 days and about 8 inches of heavy wet snow before that. If I was younger, great sledding weather...and have plenty of snow piles! But will agree, makes for pretty pics!

yes agree! ice and the frost caused an power outage for us Mon-Tue from it dropping off the lines and the lines snapping together. bad line surges also!

yes, very pretty! but the combination of freezing precip and all that frost is doing a number on all the trees and powerlines. lots of limbs and branches down and some power outages
