I aught to because it was one of my schoolfriends surnames. Something to do with 'Old Man's Beard', a plant that grows in hedgerows too, I think. |

Under clear frosty nights in winter soft ice crystals might form on vegetation or any object that has been chilled below freezing point by radiation cooling. This deposit of ice crystals is known as HOAR frost and may sometimes be so thick that it might look like snow. The interlocking ice crystals become attached to branches of trees, leafs, hedgerows and grass blades and are one of the most prominent features of a typical 'winter wonderland' day. However, the fine 'feathers', 'needles' and 'spines' might also be found on any other object that is exposed to supersaturated air below freezing temperature. :0) Joan |

I think its sort of a poetic word. An old fashioned one that authors used. |

Ah, and a poetic version of Hoary 'Having grey or white hair, ancient or venerable' |
