1991–2020 station normals
32°F minimum-temperature threshold
Last spring freeze
Among cold seasons with a freeze: probability of the last occurrence on this date or later.
The 10% date is later in spring than the median: a more cautious historical reference, still not a guarantee.
First fall freeze
Among cold seasons with a freeze: probability of the first occurrence on this date or earlier.
The 10% date is earlier in fall than the median: a more cautious harvest-planning reference.
These percentages are conditional on a cold season containing a 32°F freeze; they are not probabilities across all years. They describe historical climate, not this season’s forecast. The spring and fall probability directions are intentionally different. A garden can be warmer or colder than the reference station.

Differences can signal exposure, elevation, location or data-quality effects.
