BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE!!!!

Well the ice fog has set in...and lets just say our dogs run out....pee...and run in!!! Poor Annie's little feet are frozen in no time.

For those of you who don't know what ice fog is, here ya go:


Ice fog is any kind of fog where the droplets have frozen into extremely tiny crystals of ice in midair. Generally this requires temperatures at or below −35 °C (−30 °F), making it common only in and near the Arctic and Antarctic regions. It is most often seen in urban areas where it is created by the freezing of water vapor present in automobile exhaust and combustion -products from heating and power generation. Urban ice fog can become extremely dense and will persist day and night until the temperature rises. Extremely small amounts of ice fog falling from the sky form a type of precipitation called ice crystals, often reported in Barrow, Alaska. Ice fog often leads to the visual phenomenon of light pillars.

In case this has not gotten me any sympathy, here is the latest weather report for the land I love!

Here is a picture of ice fog, similar to what we will be seeing for the next week or two, for those of you who have no idea what it actually looks like. It is very pretty to look at, but hard to see thru :)
I wish you all warm and comfy nights....keep us in your thoughts and send any extra down comforters you have around!
