Air Temps, Frost and Scent

Based on knowledge from running beagles... a frost is hard for them keep scent, but any warmer moisture is ideal for them. So, let's say a frosty morning and the frost starting to melt, that's when the dogs will have a field day.

Based on that, I would say walking around in a frost would be better than a melting frost.

I used to love running the beagles on days when the frost was melting, snow was melting, or during or after a light rain. The moisture would hold the scents there and the dogs would track much better.
