| episode_narrative | An unusually strong arctic cold front moved into North Texas on the 11th, setting the stage for a night of strong radiational cooling as high pressure built into the southern plains behind the front. Clear skies combined with light winds and a dry atmosphere to produce temperatures in the mid 20s to lower 30 across much of the area on the morning of the 12th. Even colder readings were realized on the morning of the 13th. The last freeze of the season usually occurs in mid to late March in northern Texas and this month's freeze was one of the latest on record. Unfortunately, mild late winter and early spring weather resulted in an early start to the growing season. The extended period of below freezing temperatures and a heavy frost over the two day period took a tremendous toll on the area's agriculture. The fruit crop, including melon, peach, cantaloupe, plum, and apricot, as well as the vegetable crop, took a 75 to 90 percent loss in several counties in the northwestern portion of the area. |
