rime

Late in September, when he woke up mornings, he would see rime on the ground.

If the riming is particularly intense, the rimed snow crystal can grow to an appreciable size, but remain less than 0.2 inches.

In the larger refrigerated chambers, hooks impaled butterflied swine and cattle rimed with frost, their pale ribs gleaming in the shallow light.

Crisp, opaque rime — now doesn’t that roll trippingly off the tongue?

But do you know your hoar frost from your rime?
