You can find a database of ground temps for different regions, but you don't need to worry about that, it's usually pretty cool, especially in places with frost heavng in the ground. I've seen a couple cooling systems like this. It's best if your soil is more like clay or compressed sand. Fluffy soil isn't very conductive. Try to go down 6' and put some sort of heat spreader on or around the pipe like some copper roof flashing.
