Sometimes when we go up Mt. Washington on a warm spring day we run into snow and ice at the summit. Rime ice can be wild and I have a great shot of a sign with the ice standing straight out horizontal for about ten inches.

Rime, also known as pogonip, ice is often horizontal and milky looking and forms on the windward side of objects. It makes for some wild photography. Here are three examples of this cool stuff:

Beautiful ice pictures, I would sure love to see the picture you took.

Oh awesome! You found the proper name for it. The Ukrainian was saying what sounded like "Rhine" when he was trying to describe it.

Come to think of it, they have some folklore or whatever that says exactly 90 days from that frost - they were going to get rain. I forget to write down the date and check.
