Winter Weather Summary Highlights: Historically cold weather struck the Nation's mid-section for 2 weeks in February, resulting in the lowest temperatures in many communities since at least December 1989-and in a few cases, tying or breaking all-time records. Deep South Texas was disproportionately affected, as citrus and winter vegetables suffered extensive damage. Cold-related impacts extended far beyond crops, dairies, livestock, greenhouses, and nurseries, as extended power outages led to cascading effects that included potable water shortages and frozen or broken water lines. Across portions of the Great Plains, autumn and winter drought--along with potential impacts from February's extreme cold-left one-fifth to one-third of the winter wheat rated in very poor to poor condition by late February in several States, including Texas, Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska. Some of the most significant exposure of wheat to sub-zero temperatures occurred across the central Plains, along with minor production areas in northeastern Montana and parts of the western Dakotas. During the first 2 months of 2021, drought coverage remained nearly steady at 45 to 47 percent of the lower 48 States, according to the United States Drought Monitor, down slightly from a December 2020 peak of 49.6 percent. Significant, late-winter improvement in the drought situation was mostly limited to a swath stretching from the Northwest to the central Rockies, while portions of the northern Plains and Southwest noted worsening drought. As winter ended, excessive rainfall in the Kentucky River basin and environs contributed to moderate to major flooding, while a much broader region stretching from northeastern Texas into the central Appalachians and Ohio Valley experienced minor flooding. Despite the country experiencing its coldest February in 32 years, winter overall was relatively mild. In fact, above-normal December-February temperatures were common across the North and West, while pockets of below-normal temperatures were mostly limited to the south-central United States. Winter warmth was especially prominent in northern New England, including Maine, where December-February temperatures averaged nearly 7°F above normal. Historical Perspective: According to preliminary data provided by the National Centers for Environmental Information, the contiguous United States experienced its 29th-warmest, and 26th-driest winter during the 126-year period of record. Across the Lower 48 States, the December-February average temperature of 33.6°F was 1.4°F above the 20th century average, while precipitation averaged 6.10 inches (90 percent of normal). The "warm" winter ranking occurred despite the country experiencing its coldest February since 1989, as December and January were rather mild. Winter warmth was most prominent in the North and Far West, while wetness was largely focused across the middle Atlantic States. However, only a handful of states strayed into top-ten territory for winter rankings. It was the third-warmest winter in Maine and the third-driest winter in North Dakota. Virginia cracked the top ten for winter wetness, ranking ninth. December: Mild weather and occasional storms benefited winter wheat, with crop conditions improving across the Great Plains between late November and the end of the year. Wheat rated in very poor to poor condition at the end of December stood at 5 percent in Montana, 8 percent in South Dakota, 15 percent in Nebraska, 17 percent in Kansas, and 34 percent in Colorado, compared to respective November 29 values of 10, 11, 26, 22, and 38 percent. Despite the mostly favorable December weather, significant soil moisture shortages persisted across parts of the Plains. By December 31, topsoil moisture was rated at least one-half very short to short in several states, including Colorado (77 percent), North Dakota (71 percent), Montana (61 percent), South Dakota (59 percent) and Nebraska (56 percent). Meanwhile, significant drought persisted from Oregon and California to the central and southern Rockies. By December 29, drought covered 78.6 percent of the 11-state Western region and 49.0 percent of the contiguous United States, according to the Drought Monitor. A week earlier, the Nation's drought coverage had reached a 7-year high, peaking at 49.6 percent. By month's end, the average water equivalency of the high-elevation Sierra Nevada snowpack stood at just over 5 inches, barely one-half of late-December normal and about one-fifth of the typical spring maximum. Spring and summer water-supply concerns continued to mount in areas already experiencing below-average reservoir storage; that list included California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Oregon. In contrast, a La Niña-driven storm track primarily affected the Pacific Northwest, delivering heavy precipitation in western Washington. Although heavy snow bypassed much of the West, occasional December accumulations occurred from the Plains into the Midwest and Northeast. At mid-month, one of the most significant winter storms in several years deposited 1 to 3 feet of snow in parts of the Northeast. About a week later, a holiday storm produced blizzard conditions (on December 23) in the upper Midwest and sparked a rain-to-snow event (on December 24-25) from the Appalachians into the lower Great Lakes region. A sharp but short-lived cold outbreak trailed the wintry weather into the Midwest and East. Other cool spells in Florida peaked on December 1-2, 8-9, and 17-18. However, significant early-winter cold outbreaks were scarce, as December temperatures averaged more than 10°F above normal in parts of North Dakota and eastern Montana. In fact, near- or above-normal temperatures covered the country, except for cooler-than-normal conditions in the southern Atlantic States and parts of the Southwest. Despite a cool December, the warmest year on record wrapped up in numerous Southeastern locations, mainly across Florida, but extending as far north as the mid-Atlantic. In addition, several communities in Virginia, including Lynchburg and Roanoke, as well as some places in neighboring states, completed a record-wet year. Southeastern wetness hampered late-season harvest efforts for crops such as cotton and soybeans. January: Arctic air was notably absent from the United States in January, helping to boost monthly temperatures more than 10°F above normal in parts of the Dakotas, Minnesota, and Montana. Northern warmth was particularly impressive during the first half of January, followed by modest, late-month cold outbreaks. In fact, near- or above-normal temperatures covered the entire country, except for pockets of colder-than-normal weather in the Rockies and Southwest. During the second half of January, Western storms provided some limited drought relief in the Pacific Coast States and parts of the Southwest. The most impressive storm to strike the West was a sprawling, slow-moving, late-month system, which primarily impacted California but also affected other areas. During a 10-day period ending in early February, the average water equivalency of the high-elevation Sierra Nevada snowpack increased from 6 to nearly 13 inches-but was still only 70 percent of normal at the end of the stormy period-according to the California Department of Water Resources. Dry conditions persisted through the end of January, however, across the northern Plains, leading to drought expansion and intensification. By January 24, topsoil moisture as being at least one-half very short to short throughout the Great Plains, except in Oklahoma (40 percent). Wyoming led the region with topsoil moisture rated 90 percent very short to short on that date, followed by Colorado (79 percent), North Dakota (75 percent), South Dakota (62 percent), Nebraska (60 percent), Montana (57 percent), Kansas (55 percent), and Texas (51 percent). In some areas, winter wheat condition reflected the lack of moisture, despite few temperature extremes. Among the Plains' major winter wheat production states, Texas led on January 24 with 41 percent of its crop rated very poor to poor, followed by Colorado (36 percent) and Kansas (24 percent). Across the central Plains, however, a late-month storm-peaking on January 25- delivered heavy snow and beneficial moisture. The storm propelled Lincoln, Nebraska, to its snowiest January on record, with a monthly total of 18.9 inches. Periods of precipitation also fell in the Corn Belt, especially on January 25-26 and 30-31, although parts of the upper Midwest remained mostly dry. Several storms crossed the South and East, with some of the heaviest precipitation falling from western Florida to the middle Atlantic Coast. In contrast, near-record January dryness covered much of Florida's peninsula. February: Two weeks of historically cold weather across the Plains, Midwest, and mid-South followed a previously mild winter, leading to livestock and dairy losses. Deep South Texas bore a disproportionate share of the damage, as the coldest weather since December 1989 froze citrus and winter vegetables. In addition, the Arctic blast may have resulted in long-term injury to citrus trees in Texas and could adversely affect the next sugarcane harvest in both Louisiana and Texas. The severe cold wave, which began to overspread the Nation's mid-section during the weekend of February 6-7, was accompanied by two significant winter storms. Both systems followed a similar path into the Northwest and across the southern Plains and mid-South, causing widespread travel disruptions while delivering snow, sleet, and freezing rain. In Texas and neighboring areas, mid-month power outages caused a chain reaction of adverse impacts that included potable water shortages; frozen and broken water pipes; cattle and poultry deaths; and ornamental and greenhouse losses. Monthly temperatures averaged at least 10°F below normal in many locations across the Plains, mid-South, and upper Midwest. Cold air also seeped into the Northwest, but areas largely spared from the severe cold spell included California, the Great Basin, and the Southwest, as well as the Atlantic Coast States. February readings averaged more than 5°F above normal in parts of southern Florida. In February, significant improvement in the Nation's drought situation was mostly limited to a region stretching from the Northwest to the central Rockies. The central Plains also received some beneficial precipitation, while portions of the northern Plains and Southwest noted worsening drought. Notably, California's key watershed areas saw the return of drier-than-normal conditions, following late-January storminess. Meanwhile, the middle and southern Atlantic States received locally heavy precipitation, leading to lowland flooding. Toward winter's end, locally excessive Southeastern rainfall contributed to mostly minor flooding, although pockets of moderate to major flooding submerged portions of the Kentucky River basin.

Statistical Methodology Survey Procedures: The acreage estimates in this report are based primarily on surveys conducted during the first two weeks of March. The March Agricultural Survey is a probability survey that includes a sample of approximately 78,900 farm operators selected from a list of producers that ensures all operations in the United States have a chance to be selected. Data from operators was collected by mail, internet, telephone, or personal interview to obtain information on crop acreage intentions for the 2021 crop year. Estimating Procedures: National, Regional, State, and grower reported data were reviewed for reasonableness and consistency with historical estimates. Each Regional Field Office submits their analysis of the current situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). Survey data are compiled to the National level and are reviewed at this level independently of each State's review. Acreage estimates were based on survey data and the historical relationship of official estimates to the survey data. Revision Policy: Acreage estimates in the Prospective Plantings report will not be revised. These estimates are intended to reflect grower intentions as of the survey period. New acreage estimates will be made based on surveys conducted in June when crop acreages have been established or planting intentions are firm. These new estimates will be published in the Acreage report scheduled for June 30, 2021. Winter wheat is an exception. Since winter wheat was seeded prior to the March survey, any changes in estimates in this report are considered revisions. The estimate of the harvested acreage of winter wheat will be published on May 12, 2021, along with the first production forecast of the crop year. Reliability: The survey used to make acreage estimates is subject to sampling and non-sampling errors that are common to all surveys. Sampling errors represent the variability between estimates that would result if many different samples were surveyed at the same time. Sampling errors for major crops are generally between 1.0 and 3.0 percent, but they cannot be applied directly to the acreage published in this report to determine confidence intervals because the official estimates represent a composite of information from more than a single source. Non-sampling errors cannot be measured directly. They may occur due to incorrect reporting and/or recording, data omissions or duplications, and errors in processing. To minimize non-sampling errors, vigorous quality controls are used in the data collection process and all data are carefully reviewed for consistency and reasonableness. To assist users in evaluating the reliability of acreage estimates in this report, the "Root Mean Square Error," a statistical measure based on past performance, is computed. The deviations between the acreage estimates in this report and the final estimates are expressed as a percentage of the final estimates. The average of squared percentage deviations for the latest 20 year period is computed. The square root of the average becomes statistically the "Root Mean Square Error." Probability statements can be made concerning expected differences in the current estimates relative to the final end of season estimates, assuming that factors affecting this year's estimates are not different from those influencing recent years. For example, the "Root Mean Square Error" for the corn planted estimate is 2.1 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current corn acreage estimate will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 2.1 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 3.7 percent. Also, shown in the following table is a 20 year record for selected crops of the difference between the Prospective Plantings planted acreage estimates and the final estimates. Using corn again as an example, changes between the intentions estimates and the final estimates during the past 20 years have averaged 1.29 million acres, ranging from 32,000 acres to 6.17 million acres. The prospective plantings estimates have been below the final estimate 9 times and above 11 times. This does not imply that the planted estimate this year is likely to understate or overstate the final estimate.
