What are Frost Dates?
The last frost date is the average date of the last light freeze in spring, and the first frost date is the first light freeze in fall.
Note that frost dates are only an estimate based on historical climate data and are not set in stone. The probability of a frost occurring after the spring frost date or before the fall frost date is 30%, which means that there is still a chance of frost occurring before or after the given dates!
