Hague, ND 58542 Frost Dates

When can you plant in Hague, ND?

Zone 4a

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 05/13, roughly 258 days out. The first fall frost typically arrives around 09/27, about 135 frost-free days later.

Hague sits in USDA Zone 4a (-30 to -25°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 4 weeks of growing season left in Hague before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

Why 05/13 isn't a guarantee

05/13 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 05/02 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 05/28 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
