Freeze probability table
| Threshold | Last spring occurrence | First fall occurrence | Season length (days) 90% / 50% / 10% | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Early (90% chance of a later freeze) | Median (50%) | Cautious (10% chance of a later freeze) | Early (10% chance by then) | Median (50%) | Late (90% chance by then) | ||
| 36°F (light frost possible) | Mar 30 | Apr 16 | May 2 | Oct 14 | Oct 26 | Nov 8 | 175 / 196 / 217 |
| 32°F (freeze) | Mar 15 | Apr 2 | Apr 19 | Oct 23 | Nov 4 | Nov 20 | 196 / 218 / 244 |
