"It was a remarkable outing. It was also depressing." Nice pivot! It told me me to balance what was to come next. I grew up knowing it as hoar frost, and understood there were sharp edges to it.
I have never heard of pogo nip! maybe never experienced it, or if I did I thought it was hoar frost, which I do love and can be beautiful. lovely writing, Sue.
I think hoar frost and pogo nip are the same thing. They're two different languages. Pogo nip is Shoshone for death breath. You probably had pogo nip/hoar frost in Wyoming.
In Western Oregon we have silver thaw, also known as freezing rain. Because the temperature often hovers around freezing, rain freezes and thaws and freezes again, coating trees and telephone wires in ice. Trees fall down and the power goes out as ice-laden wires break. In 1978 our power was out for a week in a big ice storm.
