The trees were fairly free of frost this morning without the foggy start of the day. The sun was out for part of the day but there wasn’t much rime ice left to shine on, not like earlier in the month when the white formations popped against the blue sky.

The freezing fog again overnight led to another frosty morning, but meteorologists would actually call it rime ice and not hoar frost.

It took until mid-morning, but the sun did break through to shine on the new heavy hoarfrost coating. And with temperatures in the upper twenties, it was a nice day for a winter walk.
