    We usually have frost in Winter. Although frost is very cold, yet, it is a great pleasure for children, because they can be sliding and skating on the ice. There are two kinds of frost, black frost and white frost. Black frost is much colder than white frost. Cycling is also a great pleasure on a frosty morning, because the roads are clean and dry. The farmer does not like frost because it rots his potatoes. It kills flowers and plants and vegetables. Black frost is a sure sign of rain.
