Lavon, TX 75121 Frost Dates

Frost dates for Lavon, TX, ZIP 75121

Zone 8b

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 03/18, roughly 202 days out. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/11, about 239 frost-free days later.

Zone 8b (15 to 20°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 Lavon, not a forecast for this year.

What to do before the first frost

Zone 8b around Lavon has about 11 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 03/18 isn't a guarantee

03/18 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 02/28 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/07 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
