"Dry, moist soil at certain temperatures is most susceptible to frost heaving." Dry *and* moist? TotoBaggins

That should have been "moist, fine-grained soil". Thanks. Wmahan. 17:11, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

It might be useful to add some info about when this commonly happens.

Is it in the Fall, when ground starts to freeze? During the coldest part of Winter, when more ground freezes? In the Spring, when ground thaws during the day and re-freezes at night? Or allo f these times? T-bonham 02:08, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Frost creep merge suggestion

I'm not a geologist, but that article suggests that "frost heave" is synonymous, and given that it'd seem more sensible to make that article a redirect to this one. --Joe Decker 00:34, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree, frost creep should become a section of frost heave. I am also not a geologist, but I think they would have no problem with that subject being covered under one article. Dragonbeast 18:32, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
