Quoting yourself? Are you?

Just watched Weird or What on History Television trying to solve the mystery of the Sailing Stones of Death Valley. They did not solve this mystery but I did in these last two pages!

Dew is a product of the earth, tiss what gives life to plants and animals of the "dry" desert or you could say-- Dew is baby atmosphere or baby rain, or baby snow or baby fog or baby----
DEW (water) originates from the Earth and its surface and not from the atmosphere as does fog, rain, snow etc.
Black ice is a product of DEW not atmosphere.
In a nut shell --
Black ice, is of an immature earth force. (dew)
Frost, is of a mature earth force. (atmosphere)
Gord_in_Toronto -- being an old weather person maybe you could help a little with this one.
Could it be as simple as the likes of black ice to be the reason of Avalanche?
An accumulation of mature frost or snow would be binding and would not easily slide on it's self so I propose that for whatever reason a layer of frozen dew or black ice is laid down and it's this layer that the avalanche people are finding in their snow blocks.
My goodness could it be this frozen dew that moves glaciers or the reason for mud or rock slides (the likes of Franks Slide)!
