with the food supply. Anecdotal: just paid $2.65 for a half dozen eggs at walmart, Publix has them for $3.85/half dozen. and the breadbasket of the states is either under water or under snow.

Good luck.

1. Bird flu is the cause of egg prices skyrocketing not weather

Not saying you're wrong about the weather, but eggs are another issue.

2. You do know that crops aren't grown in the winter in the Midwest?

Also, snowfall is necessary to provide moisture in the soil when it melts and the crops do start to grow. This is normal weather. We need snow, and cold weather kills harmful insects.

3. in KY winter wheat goes in the ground early in the year

and starts to sprout in early March.

Sometimes a very hard or heavy rain will mess it up before it sprouts, but snow won't

Tobacco farmers seed their plant beds in late January or early February, cover them in cheesecloth and steam them. The cloth holds in the heat & moisture and the sun's heat does the rest.

It's pretty neat to watch the steaming

4. It's January

Most of the breadbasket is supposed to be covered with snow. Also eggs come from chickens, they are not grown in fields.

5. Eggplants need a lot of sun.

So, no eggs in January.
