Light Freezing Fog



Yes it is cold. This was the temperature when N caught the bus thismorning. I love the description, Light Freezing Fog.

N & I went skiing again last weekend. N loves it and after only 2 lessons is really good. She goes down the big slope with no trouble, unlike her mother who is still trying to master stopping quickly (twice using N's body to do so with messy results-legs twisted around each other). N decided after the second collision that she was going to take off down the slope, away from the instructor, away from harms(her mothers) way. She is wise beyond her years!

With a huge, enthusiastic smile on her face N now says"Skiing is my favourite spot"....oh great! While M is in India(end Feb) N and I are travelling to Austria..to go skiing with some friends from school. We are driving down with one of the school mums(Nancy) and her kids. It takes about 5 hours to drive there. N is already looking forward to next years skiing season, saying that maybe we shouldn't rush home for Xmas next year...maybe we should wait til the ski season finishes??(Is this N talking??...what happened to my daughter??)

The answer seems to be 'C':

A Freezing fog is...."a fog the droplets of which freeze upon contact with exposed objects and form a coating of rime and/or glaze"

Rime: Thick white frost formed especially from frozen water droplets from cloud or fog.

All in all it means hideously cold, especially with a slight breeze.

Can't say I miss the Prague weather...we haven't had to put on our long underwear since we've been home! Sunny and well above 0 most days. With N's new skills sounds like a winter trip to Colorado is in order.
