Wondering when it's safe to plant frost sensitive vegetation?

Here are statistics for select climate sites in southeast Wyoming and western Nebraska with long records, based on data from 1951-2026.

We have included the historical probability of the last freeze occurring by specific dates. A 50% chance (the median) means there is a 50% chance that the last freeze has already occurred by that date. A 90% chance means there is a 90% chance the last freeze has already occurred by this date (and only a 10% chance of a freeze after).
