A Frosty January

Today I will let two photos speak for themselves as I go back to January 15, 2009. I was serving as Pastor in Baker City Cathedral, having just finished a major renovation in our Cathedral, when frost appeared on every branch, twig, leaf and tree. It was just spectacular as you can see from these two photos, among many more I took that day. Frost is a layer of ice on a solid surface, which forms from water vapor that deposits onto a freezing surface. Frost forms when the air contains more water vapor than it can normally hold at a specific temperature. It also forms when the air experiences a drop in temperature bringing it below its dew point, like when the temperature falls after the sun sets, which was probably the case when this happened in Oregon in mid-January. It happened again when I was Pastor in St Francis in Bend on January 24, 2014.
