Tree pictures for you down south

[BranchWalker74]

This happens when the overnight humidity is high and the temp. is cold. Like in the teens. Fog forms and clings to the trees to look like fibers. It looks really cool until the sun burns threw the fog.

I'm using the closeup of the crab(?) for my wallpaper now.

I think hoar frost is cool too.

They call that "rime" or rime ice".
It can create some cool shapes.

FYI:
Mt. Washington in NH sometimes gets rime 10+ feet long.

This obe compares the definitions; rime takes a wind where hoar is more just accreation

DW,
As autumn approaches we always make a trek up to VT, NH to see the leaves change. And for the past 5 years the Mt. Washington road was closed due to snow. Well, this year it was warm and the road was open . . . the only problem, they said my new F-350 dually was too wide and wasn't allowed. So, instead we rode the Cog Railroad to the top.

It's an awesome sight looking down in the valley.

Those pics are sweet!! We had an icing in the mountains like that the other day. They were predicting snow and BAM there was all kinds of thick ice the next morning. Trees were bent over into the roads. Pretty cool I thought.
