at 0:41 Is there a scientific reason why there is no frost around the base of the trees, Does the trea heat the soil or something?

Only 20 years ago we called this phenomenon “WINTER WEATHER”

[Parasmunt]

Its not bad at all when it freezes but no wind. It's cold rainy weather with wind that chills. Icy weather is nothing in comparison (except for falls risk for older people).
