Lakeline, OH 44095 Frost Dates

When can you plant in Lakeline, OH?

Zone 7a

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 04/26, roughly 241 days out. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/31, about 184 frost-free days later.

Lakeline 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.

What to do before the first frost

About 9 weeks of growing season left in Lakeline before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

Why 04/26 isn't a guarantee

04/26 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. 05/14 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
