Holden, UT 84636 Frost Dates

Frost dates for Holden, UT, ZIP 84636

Zone 6a

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 05/22, roughly 267 days out. The first fall frost typically arrives around 09/25, about 122 frost-free days later.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Holden in Zone 6a (-10 to -5°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 6a around Holden has about 4 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 05/22 isn't a guarantee

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