The Freezing Fog returned yesterday and today, and with it crystalline layers on trees and other objects. This morning thin branches looked caterpillar-like with white fluff and pine trees looked, again, like Christmas decorations. Walking home in early afternoon, the sun shone full bore and the fluff was falling. It coated sidewalks but looked different from snow. More like thin wool blankets. I kept stepping in it, then knocking my boots on dry pavement.

Another Alberta moment...
