Across the Corn Belt, cold, dry weather prevails. Tuesday morning’s low temperatures fell below 10° in parts of the upper Midwest. From southern Nebraska into northern Lower Michigan, some snow remains on the ground from an earlier storm; nevertheless, Midwestern weather and field conditions generally favor off-season farm activities.
On the Plains, the latest in a series of storm systems is emerging from the Rockies and crossing the nation’s mid-section. Snow is developing across portions of the central Plains, especially from eastern Colorado into Nebraska, providing beneficial moisture for drought-stressed winter wheat.
