How these numbers are made
Each ZIP code gets one zone from the USDA-ARS / PRISM 2023 ZIP tables, which use the map’s 1991–2020 average of the coldest winter night of each year. A ZIP code can span more than one zone, and USDA’s own lookup works by ZIP or address. Each NOAA station is assigned the most common zone among the closest ZIP codes listed on its station page (a tie goes to the zone of the closest of those ZIPs). Frost dates are NOAA’s 50%-probability (median) 32°F dates for each station, the same values shown on the station pages. Zone figures are the median, 10th and 90th percentile across stations; a first fall frost in January to June is counted in the following year.
