Man, WV 25607 Frost Dates

Man, WV: when does the frost end?

Zone 7a

Around 04/08 is the usual last spring frost, about 223 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/02, roughly 208 days after the last spring frost.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Man 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 9 weeks until Man's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

The actual range around Man's last frost

04/08 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 03/25 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/21 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.

Man against the rest of the dataset

Man's growing season runs about 208 days, ranking 15,703 of 40,283 US ZIP codes measured here, longest to shortest. Within WV, it ranks 64 of 885.
