An MSNBC Week in Pics shot credited to one Jamie Roper. This one is selected because it's a damn good shot, but also because I had never heard this term "hoarfrost" before.

And also because, looking at this, I couldn't tell what it was without reading the caption.

It's a volleyball net covered with hoarfrost. Sometimes called white frost, this frost can only happen in the right circumstances -- when misty air at near freezing temperature hits a surface that's already freezing cold, such as a net.

How do you make a hoarfrost?

How do you make a hoarfrost?

Umm...look inside your freezer?

no!......how do you make hoarfrost?

you dump her dead body in a frozen lake!

There ya go. I was waiting for the regular answer don't pay her, but this will do.

that pic looks more like some kind of wierd board game.

ahhh... rimes with whore:)

not necessarily "rhymes" but homonyms :)

Yeah, I married one of them. Nice picture, UT.;)

Oh, *well done*, E...the absolutely perfect intentional misspelling.

Hmm... if that's a hole in the net, why are the dangling strands pointing toward the center of the hole, and not down?

Static electricity. No, wait, capillary action. Um, Bernouli's priniciple? The law of crystal formation (I made that one up.)

Homonymian?

Maybe it broke while freezing?

Creative use of scissors :D

The threads are probably coated with resin or plastic.
