Frost dates for Woodman, WI, ZIP 53827

Zone 5a

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 04/22, roughly 237 days out. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/20, about 179 frost-free days later.

Zone 5a (-20 to -15°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 Woodman, not a forecast for this year.

What to do before the first frost

Zone 5a around Woodman 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 04/22 isn't a guarantee

04/22 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 04/07 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.
