[edit] Intro

It says:

Frost is more common than snow, requiring temperatures as high as 45 °F (7 °C), a cloudless sky, and a relative humidity of 65% or more.[1]

(My bolding). This wording seems odd. I assume the latter half of the sentence is referring to frost conditions, not snow. Shouldn't it read '...temperatures no greater than 45 °F (7 °C)'? Or if it's trying to emphasize that 45 is an unusually high temperature for frost, read e.g. 'Frost is more common than snow, requiring a cloudless sky and a relative humidity of 65% or more, though it can arise in temperatures as high as 45 °F (7 °C)'. Also, does it require this or only involve this? (E.g. I assume frost can occur even if there are some clouds.) Ben Finn 14:03, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I corrected the accumulation of 1993 Superstorm. There were maximun 2 inches in Florida, not 4 nor 6. These accumulations were referred to more northern states like South Carolina and Alabama as you can read in the link. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.12.67.199 (talk) 15:09, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I reverted your correction, as NCDC says that up to 4 inches occurred in Florida. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:31, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
