Turnip Winter was a time of severe food shortages because many farmers had been drafted into military service. Large amounts of rain fell in the autumn of 1917 and caused the potatoes to rot. During that time, the main source of food was turnips.

The "Turnip Winter" was the nadir of this miserable time. The term refers to the winter of 1916-1917, when an early frost killed off much of the potato crop. As a result, for much of the winter there weren't enough potatoes and they had to be supplemented with last-minute plantings of turnips.
