| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Record breaking cold settled over the Midwest during the early morning hours of 3 May 2005. The cold was of such intensity that all time record minimums for the month of May were tied or shattered at most first order stations and many co-operative stations. Farmers that took advantage of the unseasonably mild weather during the first half of April had to replant after crops were killed off by the freeze. In some cases, crops had to be replanted even though the growing point was below the surface. This was due to the soil being a sandy loam which allowed freezing temperatures to penetrate into the ground. |
