Winter in all her beauty


Back to a hoar frost photo taken on 22nd January. There is just nothing that can compare to driving in a spectacular hoar frost - other than driving in a spectacular hoar frost WITH blue sky (which was definitely missing that day), LOL! This little backroad is just south of the city, with gentle hills and endless farmland. Everything, right down to the slimmest of stems and grasses, was covered in white crystals.
"Calgary averages twenty days with fog each year. Half of these normally occur in the fall and half in the spring. Environment Canada does not list which month has the most days with fog." We seem to have had more days of fog and hoar frost this winter than what I remember from other winters, but maybe I just missed them before. I had asked my oldest daughter if she had any statistics for this - she didn't, so she e-mailed one of our Meteorologists, Paul Dunphy, and the info just above was in reply to her e-mail. Thanks, Fiona and Paul!
