In the mean time, as a place marker I'll leave you

Forth paragraph, third sentence

Ice may not form when the frost is very light; temperatures
will usually be 1F - 2F below freezing before ice starts to form.
This plus my first reference from
http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/o...rystallization
which mentions heat being liberated because of crystallization is my
present argument for 30F as the freezing point of water. If 32F was the
freezing point, additional heat would melt the ice.

Still, I'll search for an authoritative answer for you.
