68766, near Page, NE: the frost window

Zone 5b

Around 05/07 is the usual last spring frost, about 252 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 09/30, roughly 144 days after the last spring frost.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Page in Zone 5b (-15 to -10°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.

Stretching the season past the first frost

Page's growing season runs out in roughly 5 weeks — a cold frame or greenhouse kit is the usual way to keep cool-weather crops going past the first frost.

The actual range around Page's last frost

05/07 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 04/24 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 05/21 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
