Default When historically is the last freeze?

Alot of seed packages call for starting the seeds x amount of time before
the last frost. When does conventional wisdom in the triangle tell you that
date is, approximately of course? Thanks.


Hi Peter,
Around the first week in April, according to the NOAA:
http://www.erh.noaa.gov/rah/climate/...ing.freeze.gif

I got there by going to http://www.weather.gov/, then the local forecast
for Durham, then under "Additional Forecasts and Information" near the
bottom I clicked on "Local Climatology" and went to "Local
Data/Records".

I also see that last year's December was the 5th warmest since 1944.

There's a wealth of information there if you can find the wheat in the
chaff.

Cheers
