Frostbite can look whitish or black if it is worse. Usually on combs it tends to be on the tips, and sometimes 1/2 the comb is involved, and sometimes the wattles from drinking water. Put some Neosporin ointment, bag balm, or coconut oil on the combs to help them. Make sure that you have overhead ventilation to let moisture out of the coop. Here is a good link with pictures: http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2013/12/frostbit-in-backyard-chickens-causes.html
