The Nation - News from March 15, 1988

Cold Canadian air poured across the nation east of the Rockies and brought a return of wintry weather, threatening fruit crops with temperatures in the teens as far south as Texas and dusting Atlanta with snow. The National Weather Service posted a winter storm watch for the mountains of northwest Wyoming for overnight and today as heavy snow began falling in northwest Montana and northern Idaho. With spring less than a week off, temperatures were below normal from the plains to the Southeast as the cold Canadian air followed a weekend storm that left six dead in traffic accidents in Wisconsin and Wyoming.
