Marmet, WV 25323 Frost Dates

When can you plant in Marmet, WV?

Zone 7a

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 04/16, roughly 231 days out. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/26, about 192 frost-free days later.

Marmet sits in USDA Zone 7a (0 to 5°F average annual minimum). The dates above are NOAA's 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting station, a 30-year average, not a forecast.

What to do before the first frost

About 8 weeks of growing season left in Marmet before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

Why 04/16 isn't a guarantee

04/16 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 04/01 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 05/05 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.

How Marmet compares

About 192 days separate Marmet's last and first frost, putting it 20,413 of 40,283 ZIP codes nationally. Within WV, it ranks 254 of 885.
