Marmet, WV: when does the frost end?

Zone 7a

Around 04/16 is the usual last spring frost, about 231 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 10/26, roughly 192 days after the last spring frost.

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.

Stretching the season past the first frost

With roughly 8 weeks until Marmet's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

Why 04/16 isn't a guarantee

04/16 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 04/01 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 05/05 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.

Marmet's growing season runs about 192 days, ranking 20,425 of 40,283 US ZIP codes measured here, longest to shortest. Within WV, it ranks 266 of 885.
