The Kind of Hoar You're Proud To Post About...
We tend to have mild temps here in western Oregon, so we don’t often have things like cold air inversions in the winter, or freezing fogs or— HOARFROST.
For those of you from southern or otherwise milder climes, hoarfrost is crazy amazing. Its sharp looking crystal ice spikes cover everything and transform the entire world. Like freezing rain, it can turn a wintery scene into breathtaking beauty. And where I live, you might see it once a decade.
That “once in a decade” came today! Only photos can do it justice… This isn’t snow, remember, its frost laid down by heavy freezing fog that roils along the ground. You can see the areas where the fog went and where it missed by this back yard shot. Some trees on hills escaped most of it because they peeked above areas of fog.
The most delicate creations can come from dead weeds, or chicken wire, or firepit grills. Everything seems enchanted.
Wire mesh looks like its growing white hair (which is where “hoar” comes from: “hairy” or “hoary”.) Lawn ornaments look magic.
But the best by far are the trees! The limbs shining in the low morning sun… And yes, the sky was THAT BLUE!!
Blackberry briars look even MORE wicked. The most innocent of branches takes on a threatening appearance…
Hopefully, these very brief memories will hold me for a few more years, since I’m not likely to see it again for a while.
Shortly after these photos were taken (mostly by my husband, Gerick– he’s the early riser in the family) instead of melting and dripping off trees, leaves, and various objects, bunches of frost softly fell like snow to land and go “pffft” by the dozens, then hundreds, then thousands. It actually looked like it was snowing. The hoarfrost went from what you see in these photos to falling softly to evaporating into the air without even turning to liquid. Eerie but very cool.
Cool as– ICE! =^D
