Nobody should have to have four browsers open to understand the question. Also, considering you cannot answer it with dictionary definitions and Google searches, please say exactly what you're expecting from answerers that goes beyond what you've already found | |

| Feb 1, 2022 at 21:26 | comment | added | James K | A dictionary will tell you the differences. What sort of audience are you writing for? For a general audience, "frost" will probably work in all contexts. For a specialist meteorologist, there is a technical difference. What experience do you have with frost? Do you come from a country in which frost is common? | |
| Feb 1, 2022 at 21:13 | comment | added | Andy Bonner | Welcome! 1) Yes, please edit to show what you find in dictionaries. For one thing, it will help us supplement them better. 2) Be aware that some of these are much less common than others. Not invalid, but rare. "Frost" is extremely common; "hour-frost" much less so, and "rime" fairly obscure (I once tried to use "rimy" in a magazine article and the editor changed it to "grimy"). I haven't actually heard the usage "rime ice" before. | |
