Snow Strikes Dixie Crops As Deep Freeze Reaches South
A sweeping winter storm roared northeast into Dixieland bringing 10 inch snows to Spring Hill and sleet to New Orleans as law schools closed in 21 Louisiana parishes. Ice battered palm trees in New Orleans, threatening crops including a $1,000,000 strawberry crop and southern Georgia peaches, while hundreds of thousands of orange and grapefruit trees in the Rio Grande valley faced ice. The storm halted rail lines, knocked out power in downtown Atlanta, and froze centers from Virginia to the Carolinas. Army relief shifted from haylift to feeding isolated populations, with desperate efforts to airlift fodder for starving cattle as ground transport and fuel bottlenecks strained relief.
