The weather forecast calls for freezing temperatures and snowfall in Eastern and Southern Idaho through early next week.

• Temperatures need to be 18°F or higher for 5 to 7 hours to haul potatoes from cellars to packing sheds; hauling when temperatures are below 18°F will freeze potatoes
• Expect reduced production and delayed loading; advanced order lead time is highly recommended for order fulfillment
• Many suppliers will utilize onsite storage to cover orders
• Other concerns include potential road closures and packed ice on trailers leading to smaller payloads in order to maintain legal weights
