What Causes Frost?

A frost is a blizzard that rains down huge white, ice crystals. A frost can also be a really strong wind that brings in the snow. Frost also forms on the ground.

Frost is also a water vapor, the water rises to the clouds then forms plenty of tiny ice crystals. It takes almost a week to fill up the clouds with the white crystals.

When the clouds are full, the clouds get darker then it starts to rain. After a while, it will start to snow a lot. Then the crystals comes out. Sometimes tree branches will freeze and on the branches, long, cold, coned shaped ice will form and hang down below the branches.

It can take hard effects when the weather is windy and when the temperature is below 8 degrees Celsius. Frosts usually happen in the middle of Winter. Frosts mostly happens in the Northern Atmosphere. Frosts can happen to New Zealand and in the North Island.

If frosts happen in hot places, people will be joyful and happy because the sun will melt the ice and evolve into nice, liquid water.

Frost forms due to cold weather and when the weather heats up, frost melts and provide an important water source.

I think that you've created a very informative post about frosts. I like how you have sequenced your information and created a piece of writing with clearly defined paragraphs.

As a teacher who used to live in Hamilton I know that some areas get frosts a lot harder than others and I am not sure as to why that is. Do you know?
