| episode_narrative | A series of cold fronts ushered in only the second arctic air mass of the winter of 1997/98. The unseasonably cold air, arriving on the heels of a mild and wet February, may have caused some damage to peach crops in Maryland orchards, especially on the coastal plain. The combination of mild and moist conditions earlier in the winter not only led to accelerated bud growth, but may have decreased the resistance of fruit trees to the hard freeze. In addition to the possible peach damage, early blooming plums and some apricots sustained moderate to heavy damage.The coldest morning, March 13, produced temperatures as low as the low to mid teens across the northern tier of the state. Minimum temperatures on the 11th and 12th averaged in the upper teens to lower 20s; daytime maxima held in the 30s on the 11th and 12th, with some areas (mainly higher terrain over far northern and western sections) failing to rise above freezing for the first time since January 1. |
