description abstract | A set of freeze thresholds is defined which replaces the loosely defined element ?killing frost.? Freeze series are tested and found to be random. This makes it possible to fit frequency distributions. It is hypothesized that these distributions are normal and a test of significance verifies this. A hypothesis that the variance parameter is constant over Iowa is tested and found to be true. It is shown that spring and fall freeze are independent and this results in a simple form of freeze-free period distribution. The calculation of probabilities of freeze and freeze-free season are explained. | |
