Frost dates for Sharpsburg, GA, ZIP 30277

Zone 8a

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 03/26, roughly 210 days out. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/06, about 226 frost-free days later.

Zone 8a (10 to 15°F average annual minimum) comes from the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map; the frost dates above are the 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting NOAA station for Sharpsburg, not a forecast for this year.

What to do before the first frost

Zone 8a around Sharpsburg has about 10 weeks left before the first fall frost — that's the usual window to get a cold frame up if you want to keep harvesting past it.

Why 03/26 isn't a guarantee

03/26 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/04 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/13 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
