I read where a scientist explained that regular frost, rime frost, forms on foggy night and the moisture collects of the spikey plants.  

He described hoarfrost as occurring on cool clear night and the moisture rises out of the ground.  He went on to explain that Hoarfrost has a fluffier incarnation, so if any of you are so inclined, have fun feeling the hoarfrost to see if he's correct.  

On a another note, I once knew a girl whose married surname was Hoar.  Can you imagine what it would be like if people came up to you and asked if you were a Hoar, or a nurse calling out that she has the Hoar baby and wants to know who the mother is.  Personally, I think I'd either force my husband to legal change his name or I'd divorced him.

In Tennessee, you know it's deer season when the hoarfrost crunches under your boots.

Was his first name Mann? While most boys might tease and bully, the girls and certain affected boys would be curious about his reputation 😛

I'm not sure, but his last name was Quinlan.

Southern Alberta has a lot of Hoar's, as in the last name. I even believe that a smaller city's main TV station had a female reporter with the last name Hoar. I personally thought the last name with Dutch in origin, but I guess it is English. Who knew :o

My niece and nephew enjoy telling people that they went to high school in Paris. Considering where they live and work most people wonder if they’re telling the truth. Paris, Arkansas, is noted for the Mt. Magazine Scenic Byway, which takes visitors to Mt. Magazine State Park (Been there, done that, but the gift shop was closed so couldn’t buy the t-shirt.) atop 2,753-foot Magazine Mountain. (Don’t ask why the difference, it’s probably semantics.)

Magazine Mountain, besides being the highest point in Arkansas, is noted as the highest point between the Alleghenies and the Rocky Mountains. (There are mountains in the Trans-Pecos region that are taller, but those mountains are far to the south of the Rocky Mountains, and therefore not between the Alleghenies and Rockies. Magazine Mountain is actually south of the Alleghenies, but it’s farther north than the Trans-Pecos mountains. Geographers love to draw curvy lines.)

Winters atop Magazine Mountain are noted for sleet, hail, snow, freezing rain and fog, frost flowers, ice crystals, rime ice, and hoarfrost.
