Magnificent strong mirage looking down the road, a massive uphill rise the road where none exists.
We get this kind of mirage often in winter with temperature inversions, when a layer of dense, cold air is trapped against the ground by a warmer layer aloft.
This one is particularly pronounced, the inversion is very strong. I have never seen the mirage 'hill' as lofty as this.
-30° F this morning. (-34°C)

Denizen of the deep cold, a frost filigree dragon in flight appeared inside the glass panes of my patio door.

Frosty display growing between the panes of glass in my patio door, only when temperatures are lower the -40.

One of those things that's kind of fun and interesting to do, when it's -40 or colder outdoors.
Tossing hot water into the air hisses and pops, as the hot water turns to steam in the very cold air, then instantly freezes.
