Frost dates for Frannie, WY, ZIP 82423

Zone 5a

Around 05/06 is the usual last spring frost, about 251 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/01, about 148 frost-free days later.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Frannie in Zone 5a (-20 to -15°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.

What to do before the first frost

Zone 5a around Frannie has about 5 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 05/06 isn't a guarantee

05/06 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 04/26 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 05/20 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
