As you can see in below graphic, it happens quite often. And it looks as if recent years have had warmer low temps than history has shown.
The Lafayette Regional Airport has recorded an annual low below 20° F 8 times since 1980 (including this year).
That's 8 out of 44 years. That's less than 1 in 5 years. I wouldn't define that as "quite often".
ETA: and only 5 times between 1950 and 1979. So 13 times in 74 years.

Never claimed it was every year it gets below 20, it”freezes” every year. So that means it gets below 32F just about every year. As another poster said, it doesn’t kill the crawfish, only slows down their growth for a short period of time. This freeze for less than a week hardly had a blimp of effect on the crawfish.
