Frost can pose risks to sensitive plants, particularly during the growing season. Tender crops may suffer damage when temperatures drop below 36°F (2.2°C), while frost-tolerant plants can withstand light frosts between 28°F (-2.2°C) and 32°F (0°C). Additionally, cold mornings can strain vehicle batteries, potentially leading to starting issues. Frost formation is highly localized, meaning some areas within the same neighborhood may experience frost while others do not. This variability underscores the importance of localized forecasts and preparation, especially for gardeners and drivers.
