The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Webster in Zone 9b (25 to 30°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.

Zone 9b around Webster has about 17 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 01/31 isn't a guarantee

01/31 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 01/01 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 03/05 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
