"text": "On Sunday night, January 23, ſeveral things vvere laid out at the Obſervatory, ſuch as ſheets of brovvn paper, pieces of boards, plates of metal, glaſſes of ſeveral kinds, &c. vvhich all began to contract hoar-froſt ſeemingly as ſoon as each body had time to cool dovvn to the temperature of the air. The ſheets of brovvn paper being ſo thin acquired it ſooneſt, and vvhen beheld in candle-light they became beautifully ſpangled over by innumerable reflections from the ſmall cryſtals of hoar-froſt vvhich had parted from the air.",

"text": "This striking fact, of the lower temperature of the surface on which dew and hoarfrost are forming, it was always found difficult to explain; for the transition of a body from the state of vapour to the fluid or solid form is always accompanied with an evolution of heat, […] The surface is not warmer in consequence of the formation of the dew or hoarfrost, but the dew or hoarfrost is deposited because the surface is previously cold; and its low temperature, compared with that of the air above, is owing to the discharge of heat by radiation.",

[…] Conditions leading to hoar frost formation include the movement of vapor within the snowpack, the presence of supersaturated air in crevasses, ice caves, and animal burrows, and the occurrence of clear evenings with high levels of outgoing longwave radiation.",

"text": "The samples of hoar frost collected at all the stations contained few NO₃⁻ ions; this may have been because frost forms at night, when the intensity of road traffic is 2–3 times less than during the day. The largest proportion of NO₃⁻ ions was found in the farmland samples of hoar frost; the reason for this may be the application of nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture.",
