A source-backed view of historical freeze risk at this weather station. Use it to understand the season, not as a promise about your garden or this year’s weather.
Infrequent freezing; no seasonal dateFreezing is too infrequent for an ordinary calendar.
The source does not provide a conventional spring-to-fall freeze interval suitable for our calendar model. We retain the actual station status rather than borrowing a colder, more distant station.

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.
