This is the first of what will likely be several shots of hoar frost: yesterday was a "top 10" day. I live in a very beautiful spot close to the St. Lawrence River, and every day is lovely, but there are some days that are very special. Yesterday, there was fog overnight and very little wind. The ice crystals for the hoar frost had the chance to become very long. There was also fog last night and hoar frost today but the conditions were slightly different: from a distance it looks equally spectacular, but close up the frost today is much shorter and thicker. And besides, I had to go to work and did not have time to take advantage of it! Yesterday, though, I took full advantage of.
