A chilly Canadian airmass spread southward into the Midwest on April 29, 2008. Clear skies and light winds created ideal conditions for widespread frost and freezing temperatures.  Readings dropped to the upper 20s to lower 30s across eastern Iowa, northwest Illinois and northeast Missouri during the early morning hours. Damage to crops and gardens was minimal as a cool and wet spring prevented field work.
