The mercury in Boston registered -2 degrees as of 8 a.m., according to the National Weather Service. The temperature in Murmansk, Russia, the largest city within the northernmost ring of the planet known as the Arctic Circle, was a balmy 6 degrees by comparison.
Freezing fog occurs when liquid fog droplets freeze to surfaces, forming white soft or hard rime. This is very common on mountain tops which are exposed to low clouds. It is equivalent to freezing rain, and essentially the same as the ice that forms inside a freezer which is not of the "frostless" or "frost-free" type. The term "freezing fog" may also refer to fog where water vapor is super-cooled, filling the air with small ice crystals similar to very light snow. It seems to make the fog "tangible", as if one could "grab a handful".
