Average First Freeze Date

It's that time of year where we have to start thinking about our first freeze of the season. October 30th is the average date that Richmond will see 32° for the first time. The average date for Richmond's first hard freeze (28°) is November 8th.

Generally speaking, if you live west of Richmond, the dates will be earlier. If you live closer to the Chesapeake Bay, then the dates will be later.
