I thought about that a LONGGG time. And this is my hypothesis: It

open and the front came through. It got cold(er) and you, Leon,
closed the doors, but both you and Karl were so sweaty that you
instantly caused the ambient (absolute) humidity to increase beyond
the dewpoint at the "iron" as you called it. Of course the effects
of beverages consumed is unknown to me ...

Except of course, it was morning and a warm foggy front, after a cold
night. LOL

As soon as you both get to Fair Lawn, I'll treat you to a few in the
Dutch Househttp://www.dutchhousetavern.com/. Alternatively, I'll
treat you as soon as I get to Houston ...

You're on ... you know how to find us. And bring Marlow with you, the
boy needs some "scientifically" prepared food and beverage.

My "as soon as I get to Houston" is unlikely to be soon ... Marlow is on
his own, I don't really know him, ...

An alternate theory: The air in the shop was warm, and saturated with
moisture. When the cold air arrived, it dropped the temperature of the air
in the shop enough that it could no longer hold as much moisture as before.
That moisture precipitated out onto horizontal surfaces in the shop.

I think that since the tools that were closest to the south facing
garage door were the ones first affected that their surfaces cooled down
initially and the warm humid air in the shop condensed on them first.
