As snowflakes accumulate, little pockets of air get trapped and act as insulation keeping things just warm enough for plant cells not to freeze and rupture. Frost is ice forming directly on the plant. No insulating air pockets. As a result, heat is sapped from the plants into the ice. Plant cells freeze and the resulting ice crystals forming inside the cells ruptures them.
Blessed are the "cracked" ... for it is they who let in the light.
