Once again severe weather has struck our area and we are under a Level 3 snow emergency. Hopefully they will get stuff cleaned up soon but as of now we are shutdown. They actually listed "frozen fog" as a weather condition. Maybe that is common in other areas but I have never heard of frozen fog before.

Stay safe everyone,
Garth
 
Be safe and stay warm. Never heard of freezing fog ? That's a first. Got hit here with more snow, I'm coastal so about 6 inches. It's now freezing rain and below freezing out, fun, fun, NOT lol
 
I'm also perplexed by freezing fog. Does that mean when you see a fog front that it's actually a giant block of ice? When you step in the fog cloud that you'll freeze into a statue?

Polar Vortex creating made up weather conditions FTW!!
 
I think they said "Frozen Hog" your ears ain't what they used to be.

Stay warm my friends
 
It is icy here today. Roxie keeps falling through the ice crust on the snow. Be careful out there everyone.
 
Frozen fog is literally what the name suggests - fog, that froze. Instead of a cloud of tiny water particles, it's a cloud of tiny ice crystals. It's mainly scary because it indicates the air outside is probably at or below -40*... Stay warm, guys!
 
Holy INFI Tusks!
Freezing Fog?!?!? :eek: :confused:

Don't sound good to me!! :thumbdn:

You guys & gals all stay safe!!!!!!
 
Just bring the operation to California! The only thing that freezes over here, is the traffic on the freeway!
 
We get frozen fog in the outer west Portland Metro area a lot, in rock creek and the more rural areas it's common. It's fog that exists at the edge of freezing temperatures, so that the fog develops, drifts down onto something as a small droplet and freezes there, it's so light that it can drift upward on the lightest breeze and stick to the undersides of things. Think light snow that coats every single surface (including the undersides of leaves), instead of just the tops of things through gravity. It will take a normal landscape and create a pure completely white winterscape in the matter of an hour - whiter than you get during heavy snowfall because of the non-gravity induced sticking nature of it.

Freezing fog is different than "Ice fog", which is where the air is so supercooled that the fog is literally a cloud of ice crystals. Freezing fog is just normal fog that freezes on contact, or freezes then falls onto things.

That's pretty much what everything looked like at the cottage, during the holidays. 51 hours without power.... Thank God for slow combustion fireplaces.

I'm about 700 miles north of our friends at Busse. We are getting the tail end of the crap that they are experiencing...It ain't pretty but FAR from what they are getting. We got about 10cm of very slippery icy snow (that's what I'd call it).

Keep warm gals and guys.... And Garth.... Don't forget your vitamin C !!!!;)
 
36hrs. & counting...no power. Man, it's getting cold.
Chester Co., PA got frakked up.
Sitting in my truck to warm up, probably ggonna bug out for a warmer spot tonight...hope my water pipes don't freeze up!
Stay warm & safe folks. :)
 
I feel bad for you guys. I am outside in 70 degree weather right now. People wearing shorts and Tevas. Running the AC in the car.

Man that stinks...hope they get you turned on soon. We were lucky this time, the ice wasn't bad enough to take out the power. A lot of our right of ways are cleared out from those nasty derecho storms we had the last two summers. So the power service has been solid.
