As usual, I have the natural ability to see things that many would just ignore. The question I have, has caused me to consider possible answers for several years. I have decided to present this query to you, the reading public.
I have observed many times, that frost will form on house tops, evenly spread over the roof, unless there is a tree with limbs that protrude over a portion/s of the roof. The portions of the roof that have tree limbs over it do not get covered by the frost.
Note: it is winter and there are no leaves on these trees.
This morning, I have observed a similar situation on grass. The neighbor’s back yard has no trees or plants other than grass, and the grass is covered with frost. The back yard at The Ford Homestead has trees with no leaves, and there is no frost on the ground under the trees. Out from under the limbs, there is frost.
Question #1, Why does a tree, with no leaves, help prevent frost?
Question #2, do you want to keep receiving my emails about my blog posting?
If you want to be removed from the mailing list, send me a note, and I will take your name off the VIP list.
If you know someone who wants to be added to the mailing list, have them send me an email, and I will add them to the VIP list. (VIP is, Very Important Person)
My critic may like this posting, as it is short.
Be nice to someone today!
Don Ford
