Frozen Fog

We haven't had any new snow for about 3 weeks. Due to a week of temps in the upper 30's to low 40's there isn't any snow on the roads or rooftops. You can still see plenty of snow on the fairway or open fields, but only about 6-12" depending on drifts.

What we have had lately is fog and because it's been in the low 30's it's freezing fog. So imagine being in a thick fog, so thick you only have about 100 yards of visibility. When it freezes the fog crystallizes and falls to the ground like a super fine snow and it will accumulate. The big difference between snow and this freezing fog is that it's ice. Very Slippery ICE!

Now when you get these icy crystals accumulating on trees you get quite a site. Going the back way into Spokane we passed an area that still shows the effect that this frozen fog had on the forest here.


Other than our 2 week stint with the fog, it's been cold but it's been sunny and beautiful!
