    Its 6* now, I have seen it from 32 brown to -60* I think I may have to do with the moister freezing from the gas state to solid, honesty I really don’t know. I have noticed when the humidity is high we get hoar frost.

    Frost - Wikipedia

    Found a fairly technical explanation part way down the page.

    Really cool pics you've got there, Rope.

    Wow great job capturing such an event. Frost is usually such a quick event it is hard to capture at least here in Eastern NC it is. Thanks for sharing

    w/hoar frost, standing knee deep in snow, eating sticks and pooping saw dust.
    Tough life.

    We call the stuff that sparkles in the moon lite like a hundred bizillion diamonds spilled from a diamond peddlers pack hoar frost.

    This is a result of the trees and suck being cold and fog rolling thru the area.
