Yes, that is the new word for the day. Pogonip is freezing fog. Here are pictures of this event from 2005 courtesy of Scott at AroundCarson. Scott knows everything. It seems it is similar
to an ice storm in that it leaves crystals all over everything and is particulary lovely on the trees.

Of course, there were no signs of this phenomenon when I awoke. I did, however, sleep in quite late. Now I am excited to see this happen.

Pretty!
We get freezing fog around here every once in awhile, and I've never heard it called pogonip. A good word to learn! I'm totally going to use it next time we get freezing fog.
Wow, a new word...and phenomenon. :)
