Beard side-effect

One the reasons I originally cited for growing a beard was the cold weather. Indeed, that is true. I'm pretty sure that the cold spell influenced my thinking when we returned from Euro Disney 3 weeks ago.
However, there is an unwanted side effect of facial hair during sub-zero temperatures; condensation.

Moist particles (particularly from breathing out through the nostrils!) attach themselves to the beard, making one self-conscious about possible dampness above the lip! It is a perculiar occurence and not one I was expecting.
