Yep.
And after that winter, one of the worst on record, it basically did not rain all of the summer of '56. One of the worst droughts since the 30's. Cracks in the ground so wide, I could put my arm down in them to my shoulder barely touching the sides. That was the year my Father tossed in the towel on farming. Back then they didn't talk about climate change - they talked about weather.
