No way! I haven't even lived here for 20 years. When I moved here, I sat down with the NOAA site and gradually made sense of some of the different pages. One of them (I think it was NOAA) had average first and last frost dates for 50%, 90% and 10% , 32 degrees, 36 degrees and 28 degrees. I think this came from a weather station in Everett, WA.

For example, in 90% of the last 20 years, there was a low temp at or below 36 degrees on or before Oct. 30.

In 10% of the last 20 years, there was a low temp at or below 36 degrees on or before Sept 26.

Let's see if I can upload a screenshot of my crib sheet ...
