Livonia, LA: when does the frost end?

Zone 9a

Around 02/19 is the usual last spring frost, about 175 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 12/05, roughly 292 days after the last spring frost.

Zone 9a (20 to 25°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 Livonia, not a forecast for this year.
