! Well, a quick explanation of a frost heave... (from CT :-)
!
! Water seeps through a crack in the road, and gets trapped
! underneath. The water then freezes, and expands, which
! "heaves" the asphalt
! above it up into a bump.
! Whats worse is when the ice underneath melts, but the asphalt
! doesn't come back into shape quick enough. A vehicle hits the
! bump, and
! busts the bubble that's left. Now you have a pot-hole...
