Ice fog is a type of fog consisting of fine ice crystals suspended in the air. It can happen only in cold areas of the world since water can remain liquid down to -40 °C (-40 °F). It should be distinguished from diamond dust, a precipitation of sparse ice crystals falling from a clear sky.

Twisted faces from the bottom of the street,

An aimless smile that hovers in the air
And vanishes along the level of the roofs.”
