Yes, that deeper freeze can happen when one gets a cold winter with less snow cover... snow on the ground is a natural insulation from frigid air temperatures. We have that in Vermont every once in a while...lack of insulating snow cover and abnormally frigid temps cause the frost to go deeper into the ground than normal... and raise havoc with underground pipes that are not far enough below the frost line.
