Excerpt from Climatological Data: Kentucky Section; Volumes 45-46, 1940-1941
Temperatures varied considerably but were most frequently below normal. Few and scattered that they had no effect on vegetation. Came evident early in the month that most peaches had been killed by the sub-zero temperatures in January. Other fruit buds remained entirely dormant, with some uncertainty as to their vitality. The snow cover that had protected grains through the long period of severe cold disappeared during the first week, leaving the ground deeply frozen and thawing slowly. Winter grains were exposed for several days, but with the ground in this condition the freezing and shallow thawing caused little injury. The melting of the snow and the accompanying rain fully restored surface water supplies for the first time this winter. The short interval of moderate temperature preceding the middle of the month was followed by heavy snow that re mained only a few days but served as protection for grains during the short period of hard freezes. The last decade was decidedly cold, with frequent freezing and thawing of the bare saturated surface. There was some complaint of damage to winter wheat on the heavier soils at this time. The appearance of the plants at the end of the month indicated that this injury was not serious. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
