Hanoverton, OH 44493 Frost Dates
Hanoverton, OH: when does the frost end?
Around 04/22 is the usual last spring frost, about 237 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 10/28, roughly 186 days after the last spring frost.
Zone 6a (-10 to -5°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 Hanoverton, not a forecast for this year.
Stretching the season past the first frost
With roughly 9 weeks until Hanoverton's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.
Why 04/22 isn't a guarantee
04/22 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 04/11 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 05/08 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
