    Rime ice coats the branches of trees flanking Bascom Hall on snow-covered Bascom Hill at the University of Wisconsin-Madison during a foggy winter day on Jan. 6, 2021. In between the building’s columns hangs a three panel graphic of UW-Madison mascot Bucky Badger. Unlike hoarfrost – which typical forms on clear, cold nights – rime ice forms when moisture in the foggy air coats nearby surfaces and freezes. (Photo by Jeff Miller / UW-Madison)
