Uh-oh! I live in Michigan and I didn't even think about the ground freezing,
and affecting my coil's preformance. We have some nice cold winters around
here and the frost line can hit 42". My 4' ground rod won't do much good
with 6" in contact with unfrozen ground. Does anybody know how much the
freezing will affect coil preformance?
