Riverton Rime

While driving home from the Tetons on New Years Eve, I encountered freezing fog that slowed me down near Riverton. The thin layer of fog lowered visibility and caused some slick spots on the roads. But once the fog cleared, the frosty trees contrasted with the deep blue sky to create a winter wonderland. When water droplets from fog or low-hanging clouds freeze directly to the outer surface of an object it's known as rime ice.
