Boston's First Freeze Date Calculated


November Snowfall
Originally uploaded by tpl108.
Twenty years of climate data from the National Weather Service shows that the grange typically gets hits with its first freeze on or about November 9th. Since 1985, the earliest freeze came on October 23 while the latest didn't get here until November 23, however, by that time surely the lack of light and near-freezing temperatures had all but closed the growing season.
