Dry month adds to distress as new year opens
Chicago reports a severe drought threatening the Midwest as January ends. The month ranks high for warmth and low precipitation, worsening conditions in Ohio, Southern Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and other states where towns lack water, winter crops suffer, and disease spreads. Farm experts warn the drought may badly harm crops without rain or snow soon. Warm readings reach 72 in Oklahoma City and 78 in Phoenix, while Wisconsin sees unusual signs of winter with snakes and a sunning mole.
