Rime

Rime is created by supercooled water droplets that freeze on contact with surfaces. It is pretty common in mountains because of the cold temperatures. At the University of Utah Flight Park South weather station, we replaced a precipitation sensor, and saw a lot of riming on the fence and all the weather instruments.
