Freezing Fog Leaves a Light Coating in parts of NJ




It was certainly a rare thing for parts of New Jersey. Fog dense enough combining with below freezing temperatures that it left a light coating of ice on many surfaces, including trees this morning. The three pictures below were taken at my South Jersey home just around sunrise. While the sun melted the ice quickly, it was a beautiful site to see for those who were up and about early in areas that got the fog. I cannot recall seeing freezing fog leaving this much ice on the trees in all the years following the weather.

Wrightstown reported 8 hours of freezing fog.

Mount Holly reported 2 hours of freezing fog.

Lakehurst reported 1 hour of freezing fog.

Millville reported 2 hours of freezing fog.

Many other sites, including these, reported fog and mist with below freezing temperatures, but "freezing fog" was not recorded.
