Frost forecasts
The message
from
(Nick Maclaren) contains these words:
In article ,
"michael adams" writes:
| The danger of frost is often specific to certain

| pockets can form in hollows, and up against fences and
| other barriers to the free circulation of air.
That phenomenon is relatively rare in the UK, as it applies only
in very still conditions.
I don't think so Nick, though living on the flatlands perhaps you may
not see frostpockets as often as I do. Many gardeners (even in windy
Scotland) with a hillside/sloping/valley garden will be only too
familiar with frost pockets exactly as Michael describes, and they are
very frequently referred to in UK gardening books.
