Frost is a meteorological phenomenon that consists of a drop in ambient temperature to levels below the freezing point of water and causes the water or vapor in the air to freeze, depositing it in the form of ice on surfaces, such as It can be seen in these photographs taken for La Vanguardia Readers' Photos in Sant Celoni, in Vallès Oriental, and in Gavà, in Baix Llobregat.

Thanks to that very low temperature (being a pre-coastal town), this morning we woke up to a frozen landscape. A few first hours of sunlight that did not prevent us from seeing frozen cars, frozen stagnant waters, grass and frozen land.

And these very low temperatures have been possible to record thanks to a powerful cold anticyclone typical of these times. Without a doubt, a morning to dress in a few layers of clothing.
