Oak trees may or may not drop their leaves each year. This is normal for oak trees. The cells that die off are strong enough to hold the leaf on until new growth pushes them off. It can vary depending on things such as temperature and frost but is not actual damage from the frost.

If you are in the US of A it's not frost damage. Many Oak varieties don't drop their leaves till late winter or earliest spring. Gardener isn't nuts just don't know sheeat!
