Or was it rime ice? The internet is giving me conflicting answers. The difference between the two is less about their looks—both can resemble little daggers—and more about how they were formed. Since I was busy sleeping when it formed, I'll just call it hoarfrost for now. Different from regular ol' frost, hoarfrost is less common, even here in Minnesota. Based on my limited scientific understanding, the conditions need to be just right for the dazzling ice needles to form. With many readers from less extreme climates than the Midwest US, I thought I'd share my hoarfrosty ski and wish you all a happy 2023. May rare, magical, and awe-inspiring things fill your year, and may all the daggers you encounter melt on contact. Cheers! Comment Like You can also reply to this email to leave a comment.
