the digital camera was done processing the picture.

But then again, if the wind was dead still, maybe a few more pictures before their naughty bits started to fall off.

I saw it in Churchill, Manitoba.

And then there's "ice fog", which is basically frozen car exhaust (or any moisture source) just hanging in the air, tiny, microscopic crystals of ice. But it's like real fog to drive through.

At 10 below, you have to keep beating the beer can against a tree to keep it "slushy", so it doesn't turn rock-solid.

At 40 below, probably have to switch to vodka.
