Around 04/20 is the usual last spring frost, about 235 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/22, about 184 frost-free days later.

Adelphi sits in USDA Zone 6b (-5 to 0°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.

Why 04/20 isn't a guarantee

04/20 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 04/06 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 05/07 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
