The fog that developed this weekend, in particular late Friday Night and Saturday Morning, led to a phenomenon referred to as "Hoar Frost".  I hope you had a chance to see it.  The Wisconsin landscape can be a little dull and drab this time of the year...but Saturday morning's beauty was positively breathtaking!

The following website was put together by our local National Weather Service office.  It does a nice job of explaning how the fog led to the beautiful frost.
