Default A/C Freezing

I popped the hood the other day after about an hour or two of driving with the a/c on. The a/c hose was completely frozen and had about 1/8in of ice/frost all the way around it. Is this normal? :confused:

I don't think it's normal. When it's happened to me on other cars, it was due to low freon caused by a slow leak.

You're low on freon (or equiv). This same thing happens in home A/C units. When the level gets low, the pipes will ice up because the freon is depressurizing before it gets to the evaporator. Check your pressure level and add accordingly.
