The three main types of ground frost are radiation frost (), advection frost (advection hoar frost) and evaporation frost.The latter is a rare type which occurs when surface moisture evaporates into drier air causing its temperature at the surface to fall at or under the freezing point of water.

A heavy coating of hoar frost, called white frost, is very similar in appearance to soft rime, but the formation process is different; it happens when there is no fog, but very high levels of air relative humidity (above 90%) and temperatures below −8 °C (18 °F). Soft rime formations appear as narrow white icy needles and scales.
