Corfu, NY 14036 Frost Dates
Frost dates for Corfu, NY, ZIP 14036
Around 05/03 is the usual last spring frost, about 248 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/16, about 165 frost-free days later.
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Corfu in Zone 6a (-10 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 6a around Corfu has about 7 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 05/03 isn't a guarantee
05/03 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 04/21 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 05/18 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
