We connect a real Census place to the nearest agricultural NOAA station, then show the distance and the limitations. This is not a locally validated planting calendar.

Distant reference: extra caution is needed.

The nearest agricultural station is 37.6 km away. Its source facts remain visible for transparency, but should not be read as planting dates or a garden-climate estimate for Waves.

A reference, not your back garden

from the Census reference point.

The line connects Waves’s published Census internal point to the weather station. It does not measure terrain, elevation differences or your garden’s microclimate.

Full station data
Proximity is not a climate-validation score. Place elevation is unavailable in this Census source, so we cannot verify the elevation difference. The nearest station is never silently replaced by a colder one to create a planting calendar.

A conventional seasonal freeze calculation is not supported by this reference.

Limited-quality reference. This may reflect a mild or high-elevation climate, infrequent freezing, or limited-quality values. We preserve the source status rather than inventing dates.

Available alternative-station median spread: spring 11 days; fall 16 days. This is a comparison of source references, not a measure of garden uncertainty.

Date probabilities apply among cold seasons with a 32°F freeze, not all years. Check each station’s annual occurrence and quality before comparing.
