Angola, NY 14047 Frost Dates
Angola, NY: when does the frost end?
The last spring frost here typically falls around 05/07, about 252 days from today. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 10/11, roughly 156 days after the last spring frost.
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Angola in Zone 6b (-5 to 0°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.
Stretching the season past the first frost
With roughly 6 weeks until Angola's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.
Why 05/07 isn't a guarantee
05/07 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 04/24 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 05/23 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
