Winterkill in US after temperatures plunge; Europe snowfall on the way

摘要

Very cold temperatures in the US last week resulted in some notable winterkill for wheat. Cooler temperatures and snowfall should return to northeastern Europe this week, although winterkill threats should remain low Snow cover is also expected to build in northern and western Ukraine and Belarus.The worst of last week's winterkill damage in the US was seen in eastern Colorado, Nebraska, northern Kentucky, central and southern Ohio, and southeastern Indiana. Temperatures should be mild this week, though, and threats will be low. However, rains and warmer temperatures across the Midwest will melt snow cover there. Showers should improve moisture a bit in the southeastern Plains, but dryness will continue in the southwestern Plains.
