    The St. Cloud paper said the average frost depth in 72 inches as of last week. I have heard of some even deeper spots. If that is the case it is going to take a long time to get the soil warmed up this year.

    That’s nothing. We have frost to six feet in Lakeland.

    I remember the winter of 2013, the frost line was a foot shy of seven feet

    Some of the folks in St Paul with frozen water lines were told not to turn off the flowing water until May 15th…and I’m not turning mine off until then either.

    Paying to unfreeze a line once is enough.

    With all the differences in frost measurements I wonder if its the snow depths and a long winter, If you ask me it sounds like its all about the same depth. The frost went down to 4′ 12″ here and the water mains are just below 42″.
