| frost |
The formation of thin ice crystals on the ground or other surfaces. Frost develops under conditions similar to dew, except that the temperature is 32 degrees or lower. There are frequently questions as to how frost can occur when the reported temperature is in the mid or even upper 30s. This is because the official thermometers are always about 5 feet above the ground. On clear, calm nights, the temperature at the ground can be several degrees lower, thus allowing the formation of frost.
