...The Frost-Freeze Program for the Adirondacks and Northeast
VT this season has ended...

The 2024 Frost-Freeze program for the Adirondacks and northeast
Vermont has ended. This means that Frost or Freeze headlines will
no longer be issued for this region for the 2024 season.

However, it is strongly urged to follow local forecasts and take
preventative actions from a frost or freeze when temperatures are
forecasted to be in the mid to upper 30s or colder.

The Frost-Freeze program of the National Weather Service is to
warn local growers and gardeners of the potential of a damaging
frost or freeze for a given area during the climatologically
defined growing season. This allows people to take preventative
measures for plants and crops against potential damaging
temperatures before the normal growing season ends.

The climatologically defined growing season is the period between
the median date of the last Spring freeze and the 75-90th
percentile of the first Fall freeze.

These are the dates in which NWS frost advisories or freeze
warnings would no longer be issued for the 2024 growing season in
VT and northern NY.

October 1st: Northeast Vermont and the Adirondacks of NY.

October 11th: the St. Lawrence River Valley of NY and the
remainder of VT, except the Champlain Valley.

October 21st: the Champlain Valley of VT/NY.

Again, many locations have not witnessed a frost or freeze, so
it`s very important to monitor future forecasts and take
precautions when temperatures are forecast to be in the mid to
upper 30s or colder.
