Ice within the soil bonds adjacent soil particles and renders frozen ground very hard. Permanently frozen ground is called permafrost. Dry frozen ground is relatively loose and crumbly because of the lack of bonding ice. Frozen ground is sometimes in-advisedly called frost or ground frost.); update Definition (American Meteorological Society Glossary of Meteorology Online "http://amsglossary.allenpress.com/glossary" );
