Description for It's Cold on Top of the World
Description by OutbackHack
November 2004. Looking south near High Top shelter in the SNP. Probably about 15 degrees at the time and a cloud had just rolled over the top of the mountain coated the tops of the trees in rime ice.

For anyone curious / more knowledgable than me. Here's a close-up of the ice that had formed on the trees. http://whiteblaze.net/forum/vbg/showimage.php?i=10445
Is there a term for this kind of phenomenon? -

Great shot, very nice!
The ice is called "rime ice." Here's the Wikipedia entry, which explains it very well.
