When does the ground freeze in Texas?
Each bar runs from the typical first freeze to the typical last thaw at that depth, the median over the station's complete winters on record, with the typical number of frozen days after it. Frost reaches the deeper probes later in the winter. A depth that froze in fewer than half of its winters has no typical dates. Stations: 2 typically freeze, 4 froze in some winters, 12 never stayed at or below 32°F for 3 days running, 2 with too few winters to say.
