How does spraying fruit trees with water before the frost comes keep the trees from freezing?

Water keeps trees from freezing because the water releases heat when it freezes. That heat raises the temperature of the tree, the air around the tree and the soil, preventing ice formation in the tissues of the tree.
Cold water should be sprayed on the blossom of fruit trees after frost has occurred but before the sun has risen to melt the frost.

How is frost created?
Frost forms when water vapor in the air condenses directly into ice without first becoming liquid water. This usually occurs when the temperature drops below freezing (0°C or 32°F) and the moisture in the air comes into contact with a surface, such as the ground or a car windshield, that is also below freezing. The water vapor then freezes into ice crystals, creating frost.
