Use our Frost Dates Calculator to find the average dates of the last light freeze of spring and first light freeze of fall for locations across the U.S. and Canada. Simply enter your ZIP or Postal code in the field above to see frost dates for your location (based on the nearest weather station), as well as the length of your growing season based on frost dates.

Last and first frost dates are 30% probability. Calculated using Climate Normals.

What are Frost Dates?

A frost date is the average date of the last light freeze in spring or the first light freeze in fall.

The classification of freeze temperatures is based on their effect on plants:

• Light freeze: 29° to 32°F (° to 0°C)—tender plants are killed.
• Moderate freeze: 25° to 28°F (° to °C)—widely destructive to most vegetation.
• Severe freeze: 24°F (°C) and colder—heavy damage to most garden plants.

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!

Frost is predicted when air temperatures reach 32°F (0°C), but because it is colder closer to the ground, a frost may occur even when air temperatures are just above freezing. Always keep an eye on your local weather forecast and plan to protect tender plants accordingly. Weather, topography, and microclimates may also cause considerable variations in the occurrence of frost in your garden. Learn how to protect plants from frost.

Frost dates are calculated based on data from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information.

History[edit]

Edmond, Oklahoma Territory,

The Santa Fe rail line in Oklahoma Territory established a water and coaling station for steam engines at this location when the Santa Edmond weather 73034 Railroad built into Indian Territory in ^[8] The site for the station was chosen because it was the highest point on the line in Oklahoma County; train could more easily accelerate going downhill while leaving the station in either direction. The railroad then named the station for Edmond Burdick, the Santa Fe's traveling freight agent.^[9] When the town was formed after the Oklahoma Land Run ofearly settlers decided to adopt the name. Though most of the remnants of the old railroad infrastructure are gone, the Santa Fe, now BNSF, freight line still runs through the same course.^{[10][citation needed]}

The town of Edmond sprang up overnight during the great Oklahoma land run on April 22,when homesteads were staked around the Santa Fe station.^[1] The original plat for Edmond was prepared by the Seminole Town and Development Company, a newly formed syndicate with ties to the railroad.^[8] Many of the original streets were named for men associated with either the Santa Fe Railroad or the town syndicate. The first mayor and city officers were elected in Mayand Edmond's population was in the census.

The first public schoolhouse in Oklahoma Territory, completed in Augustis in Edmond.^[9] It still stands as a historic monument on 2nd Street between Boulevard and Broadway and is open to the public on the first two Saturdays of each month or by appointment.

In Maythe Supreme Court let stand a Federal Appeals Court ruling ordering the city to remove the cross from the seal.^[15] A replacement icon has yet to be agreed upon, resulting in the curiously vacant spot on the city's seal.^{[citation needed]}

A memorial service for famed Oklahoman baseball player Bobby Murcer was held in Edmond on August 6,at the Memorial Road Church of Christ. Among the some 2, attending the memorial were Reggie Jackson, Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte, and former Yankees manager Joe Girardi.^[16]
