rimed
Crusted with frost
Rimed describes something covered with rime—a coating of white ice crystals that forms when fog or water vapor freezes on cold surfaces.
The rimed branches glittered in the morning sun.
It can also be the past tense of rime meaning to compose verse with matching end sounds, though this spelling is less common than rhymed.
The frosted sense appears most often in nature writing and poetry describing winter landscapes.
