Compared with the median of 126 Georgia stations in this dataset, the median last freeze here is 7 days earlier than the state median (Mar 21), the median first freeze is 4 days later than the state median (Nov 12), and the growing season ranks #48 of 126 by length (longest = #1). The spread between the 90% and 10% spring dates is 40 days, a measure of how variable spring is here.
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 8 | Mar 31 | Apr 16 | Oct 20 | Nov 3 | Nov 21 | 197 / 219 / 244 |
| 32°F (freeze) | Feb 22 | Mar 14 | Apr 3 | Oct 30 | Nov 16 | Dec 9 | 219 / 247 / 276 |
| 28°F (hard freeze) | Jan 31 | Feb 28 | Mar 20 | Nov 11 | Dec 4 | Jan 4 | 247 / 281 / 317 |
Read the spring “Cautious” column as the safer planting date: only about 1 year in 10 has a freeze after it. NOAA computes these from daily minimum temperatures at the station; your yard can differ, especially in low spots or at a different elevation.

Fall estimates count back from the median first fall freeze (32°F for tender crops, 28°F hard freeze for cool-season crops) by the longer days-to-harvest figure. These are rough planning aids, not recommendations for any specific variety; check seed packets and your county extension office.
