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 5 | Mar 30 | Apr 18 | Oct 28 | Nov 13 | Dec 2 | 204 / 230 / 261 |
| 32°F (freeze) | Feb 17 | Mar 14 | Apr 6 | Nov 5 | Nov 25 | Dec 20 | 227 / 257 / 294 |
| 28°F (hard freeze) | Jan 27 | Feb 21 | Mar 22 | Nov 20 | Dec 12 | Jan 13 | 256 / 294 / 329 |
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.
