Year-round freeze risk

A conventional frost-free season is not supported.

This station’s normal record indicates freezing risk across the year. A standard last-spring/first-fall planting model would be misleading; use local guidance for the elevation and climate.

Modeled annual freeze occurrence: 100%

Put the data in context

A baseline.
Not a forecast.

Weather stations measure a particular location. Differences in elevation, exposure, nearby water, terrain and urban heat can change conditions in an individual garden.

  • 32°F is the station air-temperature threshold; visible frost on leaves can differ.
  • Median dates still leave substantial historical freeze risk.
  • Historical normals summarize 1991–2020, not current weather.
  • Crop suitability requires regional horticultural guidance, soil warmth, cultivar and day length.
