    Frost is not uncommon when the humidity is high. Was the inside coil frozen as well? There is a drain somewhere that allows the condensate to run off, sounds like it's plugged. If the inside coil is frozen, you have a problem with air flow... more details will make this easier to answer.

    Catsr - The next step would be to call a A/C repair person. Most of the time when you get a frozen pipe and the front grill it is caused from being low on freeon. IF you have someone come out < do have them to find a leak, so this has a better chanch not to happen agauin ::: GOOD luck and GOD BLESS ::: F.B.E.
