Freezing Fog leaves lots of ice behind

Kind of neat, despite a crappy camera phone.

A layer of ice left behind, almost an inch thick on my antenna. It's from two days of dense ice fog.

Cool stuff.

But for technicality, freezing fog? I don't think it was 'fog' that caused it. Fog occurs when there's a drastic difference of two temperatures (like river fog over warm morning air).

I think it was just a combination of wind, frostbite, and unholy wintry mix.

That's quite untrue.

I am a weather observer and what you've said is incorrect. Fog is most often caused in areas away from major water from a close temperature dewpoint difference. Generally when you get below a 2 degree celsius separation fog becomes more and more likely.

There are many types of fog, you've listed one.

I can assure you, as a weather observer I notice the ice accretion left behind on our instruments from freezing fog. The official definition for fog below freezing is "Ice fog depositing ice"

See now, here's a conundrum. His posts per day is 0. So if I give him a week, it means nothing to him. Maybe I'll have to give him a year?

For the poor and stupid among us... WTFH is a rick roll?
and hell no... I am not clicking any links...I am at work.
 
I remember living in the Salt Lake valley where during the winter, there would be an inversion and the valley would be foggy as hell for weeks on end...and it was cold enough for the fog to freeze on things, making stuff look just like the OP's pics.
Here in Kahleeforneeya's Central Valley, we get the inversions and fog too, but not nearly as cold...(you still can't see the end of your hood sometimes though.)
