Angelica, NY 14711 Frost Dates
Angelica, NY: when does the frost end?
Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 05/04, roughly 249 days out. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 10/14, roughly 163 days after the last spring frost.
Zone 5b (-15 to -10°F average annual minimum) comes from the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map; the frost dates above are the 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting NOAA station for Angelica, not a forecast for this year.
Stretching the season past the first frost
With roughly 7 weeks until Angelica's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.
Why 05/04 isn't a guarantee
05/04 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 04/20 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 05/21 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
