| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Strong winds, cold temperatures, and snow created blizzard conditions with visibility frequently below 1/4 mile. There were several traffic accidents with minor injuries. Major roads were closed for several hours. Actual snow amounts were 3 inches or less but drifts to several feet were common. The cold temperatures and lack of snow cover caused winterkill on winter wheat. |
