Frost

Is it true that frost on your wing can thicken the boundry layer, therefore increase your drag quite dramatically? Does it this effect on the viscosity of air? I was told this years ago, and have been trying to research the topic, but not getting much.
Also would frost on your wing bemore of a threat on top than underneath.
