So... are we done with cold weather until the Fall? Maybe... Maybe not... I still feel we will have at least one more freeze, but I don't base that on anything other than "gut"...
Meanwhile, here is some info from the NW on what is typically the last freeze date.

The map below shows the average dates when various areas of the state see the last freeze of Spring. This is determined "climatologically", or by looking back through history.
Another way to look at the map: your chance of experiencing the last freeze of the season is less than 50 percent after the dates shown for your location.
