In the lower 48?

Here in Michigan I think they require 3', but I don't think I've seen 
the frost line make it more than 12 to 14 inches in the last two 
decades.  That with the exception of under driveways.
Even after all the really cold weather, with about a half foot of snow 
left, I doubt more than the top couple of inches is frozen.
