Ramey, PA 16681 Frost Dates
Ramey, PA: when does the frost end?
Around 05/13 is the usual last spring frost, about 258 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 10/01, roughly 142 days after the last spring frost.
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Ramey in Zone 6a (-10 to -5°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 5 weeks until Ramey's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.
Why 05/13 isn't a guarantee
05/13 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 04/25 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 05/29 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
