NOAA 1991–2020 freeze normals
Frost Dates in New York
Last and first frost at the 162 NOAA stations behind this site's New York pages.
At the middle station of the 162 in New York where a freeze comes every year, the last spring frost (50%) is May 4 and the first fall frost October 13, a freeze-free season of 162 days. The last frost is earliest at Corona (New York Laguardia Airport, NY, March 26) and latest at Lake Placid (Lake Placid 2 S, NY, May 27), 62 days apart. The season runs from 118 days at Lake Placid to 244 at Corona.
112 of these stations were also in NOAA's previous normals, for 1981–2010. Between the two, the median station's freeze-free season grew 6 days longer, with the last spring frost 2 days earlier and the first fall frost 3 days later; the season lengthened at 101 stations and shortened at 9. The two periods share twenty years, so the change reflects mostly 2011–2020 against 1981–1990.
