so ground is only frozen near the top? How deep would one have to go to avoid freezing?

Depends where you live. Where I live on the Canadian prairies the frost goes +6' deep every winter and lakes can easily have 3'-4' ice thickness. Burying below frost line is impractical by hand but if you mechanically excavate and build a deep pantry and cover with dirt and snow (acts as an insulator) you could store a sizeable amount of food stuffs.
