White, GA: when does the frost end?

Zone 8a

Around 04/11 is the usual last spring frost, about 226 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 10/26, roughly 197 days after the last spring frost.

White sits in USDA Zone 8a (10 to 15°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 White's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

The actual range around White's last frost

04/11 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 03/27 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/26 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
