Denny: You are absolutey right -- I used the wrong for m of the word and have editied it. As I tell my students often - even teachers make mistakes. Mike: I think we are essentially saying the same thing -- However, your words are a better description. When I have looked at the cells under a microscope after frost damage they look like popped balloons to me -- hence the explosion term used.

Also frost causes warm season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia to go into total dormancy and turn brown. I would call that a substantial effect.
