Frost dates for Cannelburg, IN, ZIP 47519

Zone 6b

Around 04/15 is the usual last spring frost, about 230 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/23, about 189 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 Cannelburg, not a forecast for this year.

What to do before the first frost

Zone 6b around Cannelburg has about 8 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 04/15 isn't a guarantee

04/15 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/31 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 05/02 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
