Frost shattering is due to temperature fluctuations. During the day when the temperatures are warm, water settles into cracks in rocks. At night the water freezes and causes the cracks to widen. Eventually this causes pieces of rock to shatter from the main rock, this is called frost shattered peaks.
This process could either be called Freezing/Thawing or Ice Wedging. Ice Wedging splits the rock when water seeps into cracks then freezes and expands.
negative
Water expands when it freezes, therefore it tends to cause the rocks to crack (or perhaps I should say, it causes existing cracks to get larger, leading to the disintegration of the rock).
frost wedging
frost
This process is called deposition.
It is frost.
Well the frost on the window would be blocking your view.......

Anything buried in the frost affected zone may be shifted around at the frost settles and thaws. Not a good thing for conduits, pipes or foundations.

Lacy is an adjective. It is used to describe a noun. You could say, "There is frost on the window." Or you could say, "There is lacy frost on the window." In the second sentence, you have described the frost. You have compared it to lace.
Ice or frost wedging
The process of frost forming is called "frost formation" or simply "frosting." It occurs when water vapor in the air freezes directly onto surfaces like grass, cars, or windows when the temperature drops below freezing point.
