The dates listed on the map are normal averages
for a light freeze/frost. The possibility of a frost occurring after
the spring dates and before the fall dates is 50 percent. Frost/freeze
temperatures are categorized by their effect on plants:
- Light freeze: 29 degrees F to 32 degrees F — tender plants killed, with little destructive effect on other vegetation.
- Moderate freeze: 25 degrees F to 28 degrees F — widely destructive effect on most vegetation, with heavy damage to fruit blossoms and tender and semi-hardy plants.
- Severe freeze: 24 degrees F and colder — damage to most plants.
