Snowville, UT 83243 Frost Dates

When can you plant in Snowville, UT?

Zone 6a

Around 05/22 is the usual last spring frost, about 267 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 09/20, about 116 frost-free days later.

Snowville sits in USDA Zone 6a (-10 to -5°F average annual minimum). The dates above are NOAA's 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting station, a 30-year average, not a forecast.

What to do before the first frost

About 3 weeks of growing season left in Snowville before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

Why 05/22 isn't a guarantee

05/22 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 05/06 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 06/16 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
