So yesterday I was on the road at about 9 AM when I noticed that the power lines were smoking or steaming or something. I didn’t have a good camera with me, just my phone, and it did a miserable job of taking pictures of the phenomenon, but you can kinda see it. It wasn’t a brief event, but lasted for at least several minutes, and was occurring along several miles of lines. I assume it is the result of some interplay of sunlight, humidity and the power going through the lines, causing water vapor in the air to condense around the lines… or something.
