episode_narrativeAbnormally cold air moved into the Ozarks by the middle of December as the main jet stream carved out a deep trough of low pressure over the eastern 2/3's of the nation. This pattern continued through the early part of January. The combination of deep snow cover and an abnormally strong arctic air mass kept temperatures 10 to 20 degrees below normal. The severe cold caused numerous water mains to brake, roof leakage, and hazardous roadways due to ice and snow. In Stafford, a water main broke under a new high school gymnasium causing considerable damage to the school ceiling tiles, light fixtures and the gymnasium floor. In addition, hay supplies rapidly decreased as persistent ice and snow covered fields. Snow cover and cold conditions also made it difficult for farmers and ranchers to feed their animals, which had an adverse affect on livestock and newly born calves. Several calves died due to the severe stress of the cold and low supply of hay, especially in southwest Missouri.
