By definition of Wikimedia: (n) hoar frost is the tiny deposition of water vapor from saturated air which occurs when the temperature of the surfaces is below freezing point.
We've been smothered in fog for four days . Its cold and I long for sunshine, however, there is an upside to this, kinda like the silver lining in a dark cloud. Hoar frost. If you were to have arrived today, you would have though one hell of a snow storm hit our city. The trees are painted white, frost clinging to the branches, building a visible screen on chain link fences. Cars litterally frosted over, frost clinging from antennas, absolutely mystifying. Beautiful, a true wonderland. I managed to step out yesterday to snap some pictures.

Ohhh, your photos are so beautiful. Exquisite. They made me homesick for winter. Truly. My crocuses are in FULL bloom and we haven't yet had winter. I love the four seasons and all the accompanying changes. I love the crisp clean cold and snow falling can be poignantly beautiful.
Your description was eloquent and poetic --- hoar frost truly is nature's winter lace.
ps. the one of the fence is magical........
