Additional notes
|
Rime ice forms when water droplets within a saturated
airmass are deposited on objects and instantly freeze, forming
interlocking ice crystals. Foggy conditions in a subfreezing
atmosphere are prime conditions to produce significant amounts of rime
ice. As seen here, the morning of December 6
was foggy, and with a temperature below freezing, this favored the
deposition of rime ice on exposed surfaces. Related NWS Product:
