Brice, OH 43232 Frost Dates

When can you plant in Brice, OH?

Zone 6b

Around 04/23 is the usual last spring frost, about 238 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/19, about 177 frost-free days later.

Zone 6b (-5 to 0°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 Brice, not a forecast for this year.

What to do before the first frost

About 7 weeks of growing season left in Brice before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

Why 04/23 isn't a guarantee

04/23 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 04/11 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 05/08 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
