Frost dates for Paramus, NJ, ZIP 07653
Around 04/15 is the usual last spring frost, about 230 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/28, about 195 frost-free days later.
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Paramus in Zone 7a (0 to 5°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.
What to do before the first frost
Zone 7a around Paramus has about 9 weeks left before the first fall frost — that's the usual window to get a cold frame up if you want to keep harvesting past it.
Why 04/15 isn't a guarantee
04/15 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 04/01 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 05/01 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
