Snowbound in Southern Illinois Farm Life Upheld by Snow
Norma Jean Dillon and her family ride out heavy snowdrifts that isolate their 150 acre Jonesboro farm. A tractor is stuck, gates are blocked, and daily routines halt. Neighbors share the shutdown, while 17 year old Jerry Dillon gains extra sleep as Anna Jonesboro High School cancels classes. Food stocks and heat remain fixtures as lights hold.
