Remington, VA 22739 Frost Dates

Remington, VA: when does the frost end?

Zone 7a

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 03/28, roughly 212 days out. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/08, roughly 226 days after the last spring frost.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Remington in Zone 7a (0 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 10 weeks until Remington's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

Why 03/28 isn't a guarantee

03/28 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 03/14 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/08 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
