Frosty Fog

The extremely cold temperatures brought an icy fog to our valley last week.

We call it Pogonip, but others call it hoar frost.

Whatever name you choose to use, doesn't really matter.

The fog rolls in and covers the valley in an icy, frosty layer.

Everything was covered in Pogonip for several days in a row last week.

I took these photos last Tuesday morning on my trip to the chicken coop to do chores.

Handles on the feed barrel looked like they were sprouting icy daggers.

Good thing I had my gloves on!

I liked the pattern the frost made on the chicken wire.

Pogonip covered trees! 

Pogonip spikes up close and personal! 

The wind chime was covered in the frosty stuff too.

The temps have warmed since last week and the snow that was on the ground for over two weeks has all but melted away.

We hit the mid 40's here temp wise over the weekend and it felt down right balmy!
