A hard freeze may occur with or without frost. Temperature criteria may vary slightly in some county warning areas. This product and its definitional criteria was consolidated into the Freeze Warning product in October 2024; hard freeze messaging can be incorporated into the body of the Freeze Warning product when appropriate.

The ice crystal growth weakens the rocks which, in time, break up. [3] It is caused by the expansion of ice when water freezes, putting considerable stress on the walls of containment. This is actually a very common process in all humid, temperate areas where there is exposed rock, especially porous rocks like sandstone .
Black frost (or "killing frost") is not strictly speaking frost at all, because it is the condition seen in crops when the humidity is too low for frost to form, but the temperature falls so low that plant tissues freeze and die, becoming blackened, hence the term "black frost".
The droplets freeze more or less individually, leaving air gaps. Clear ice forms by slow freezing of supercooled water. Clear ice is typically transparent and homogeneous. Its amorphous and dense structure makes it adhesive. Soft and hard rime are less dense than clear ice and less adhesive, thus generally cause less damage.

The 'zonal' concept of physical geography has its roots in the work of the German geomorphologist Carl Troll within the general idea of climatic geomorphology. The definition of what a periglacial zone is not clear-cut but a conservative estimate is that a quarter of Earth's land surface has periglacial conditions.
The three main types of ground frost are radiation frost (), advection frost (advection hoar frost) and evaporation frost.The latter is a rare type which occurs when surface moisture evaporates into drier air causing its temperature at the surface to fall at or under the freezing point of water.
