Default Has frost ever done this on your hood? (pic)

I was at work and happened to look out the window to check on the car as I often do, and I noticed this...I've never seen it do that before. Must have been just the right rate of cooling, deposition, etc







I thought it was kinda neat...

Very cool - I've seen condensation make an external pattern of the structural reinforcements, but I've never seen it reproduce the logo.

I have, but the flags weren't so pronounced. That's really cool!

The insulation is thinner where the logo is.

Wow! Good catch. What a nifty ghostly image that is. I understand what happened but never saw that before.
