Hoar, Horror, or Lady of the night Frost??

How do you spell it anyways? Hoar, Horror? I thought it was spelled like Horror, which to me makes sense because it is kind of spooky to watch and see. Plus it happens around October and November, what else would you call it? There was quite a discussion at our house the night before when this conversation took place.
Keith:"How do you spell this frost?"
Me: "H.o.r.r.o.r"
Keith: "You don't spell it with a W?"
Me:"No you spell it H. o.r.r.o.r. Why would you spell it with a W?"
Keith "uuuummmmm?"
then it hit me how he what he thought it was spelled like. Lets just call it Lady of the Night Frost! hehehe! We went to the office to take Keith to work and Karin said it was called Hoar, meaning white. AAAhhhhaaa now I get it. Of course there would be a real good reason to call Hoar Frost! As Keith tells me quite often due to it NOT being his first language. "English is such a complicated language!" Anyways back to the Frost.....

It is that time of year when the weather turns really cold and snow has come but the river is still not frozen. This means that fog raises off the river and then floats into the land and creates one of the most amazing sites I have ever seen! (and I have seen quite a few!) The fog floats in to the land and then freezes to everything! It is almost like the breeze freezes in slow motion. Ice crystals freeze to everything it blows by. If I were a poet I might be able to describe the beauty of it. Pictures just don't do justice to the sparkly, shimmering, pure beauty, but I will try to show you some of the WOWness with these pictures below. It is at times like these that I wish I were a photographer that took pictures of tinnie tiny things like snowflakes and ice crystals! They don't last long because the winds destroys them but oh how I love the time it is around! The ground just glimmers and shines and the trees do too. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Check out these pictures to get an idea. Just imagine it really sparkly!

In front of the office, there is this really pretty tree with Hoar Frost all over it.
