This type of ice, called rime ice, forms in special weather conditions, in which drops of water freeze and cling to surfaces on days that are both foggy and, obviously, quite cold. While this rime-coated house is beautiful (if not a bit eerie), surviving this kind of scenario must be a nightmare. Really, there’s no rime or reason as to why someone would choose to live there during a winter like this.
