frozen dew

Ice on grass

Frozen dew is dew that has frozen after forming, distinct from frost, which forms when water vapor freezes directly onto surfaces.

The difference is subtle but real: frozen dew starts as liquid droplets that later solidify, while frost crystallizes from air without a liquid phase.

The grass was coated with frozen dew from the overnight temperature drop.
