Interesting stuff, and brave in those conditions. That first one it almost looks like  a lump of candy floss

Those are amazing images Tyler. They show photos like that on the news every winter when the deep freezes come down from Canada. 212 degrees to vapor in nothing flat. I think some place outside of International Falls, MN was wind chill -62 degrees F. At 7 am here at my place this morning it's a balmy +63 F. Very unusual. Didn't go outside viewing last night because the local couger is on the prowel. Killed a neighbors goat night before last. They're tracking him, going to try sedate and relocate him once, if not, they'll have to put him down. I heard the dogs and saw the flashlights from the trackers in the forest last night. Very unfortunate, but that's nature vs humans.

Great shots, Tyler. Very original idea  :)

How can you not wear a hat in such frosts?  ???
