Frost days, or the days when the minimum daily temperature dips below freezing, declined over the period 1948-1999, with the largest decreases in the winter and the spring. Easterling studied two questions for the 52-year period: Are there changes in the number of frost days per year or season?; and Are there changes in the dates of the first autumn frost, last spring frost, and length of the frost-free season? These questions are important to the understanding of our climate and to the agricultural community. 6, record 1, English, - frost%20day
