I live on the coast and if I let my vent temps get below about 38 for any extended period of time I end up with a frozen evaporator and no air flow. I'm plenty comfortable with anything below 50 in the vents and normally shoot for about 45 before backing off on the temp setting.

To be honest, I don't know if I trust that reading. It just doesn't "seem" right. I wonder where it gets the temp reading from - back of the duct, the vent, is the air, or something else???
That said, it is still probably the coldest a/c I have ever felt.
Also, here in TX, I've never had this evap freeze. Even during periods of relatively high humidity. But, when I lived in FL, in real humidity, (with other cars) I've had it happen.
