This morning we had some super foggy winter weather. Took some neat pictures of it. The dangling frozen pine needles through the hardwire ceiling look like shag carpet lol! Pretty neat what frozen condensation looks like.

Wow! That is so pretty! Do you have any problems with your chickens at all or anything?
I wish it would get that cold here...lol
Ya, I think both my roosters got a touch of frostbite on thier combs and waddles. I'm totally ready for spring to get here. I dont like the cold. But at least it was pretty white for a while.

Nice pics. That’s rime ice caused by supercooled water (fog) droplets coming into contact with below freezing surfaces. We get it a lot up here in the mountains where they are frequently socked in the clouds. You usually have to get pretty cold to have a cloud, or fog, composed of complete ice...usually around -30F to -40F/C. That’s called diamond dust, but it’s basically just a cirrus cloud at the surface instead of plane cruising levels.
 
Wow, beautiful to look at, we finally got about freezing today but, we'll be going down again
Sooner or later Spring will triumph :yesss:
