The last spring frost here typically falls around 05/16, about 261 days from today. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/01, about 134 frost-free days later.
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Winnemucca in Zone 6b (-5 to 0°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

Why 05/16 isn't a guarantee
05/16 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 04/30 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 06/07 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
