Zone 2a (-50 to -45°F average annual minimum) comes from the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map; the frost dates above are the 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting NOAA station for Allakaket, not a forecast for this year.
What to do before the last frost
That's about 38 weeks until your last frost — tender seedlings and transplants set out in Allakaket before then usually need frost cloth or a row cover on cold nights.
Why 05/22 isn't a guarantee
05/22 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 05/11 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 06/05 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
