Are you ready, Missouri? We may just be celebrating the start of fall, but we’ll want to enjoy every sun-soaked, warm moment. Before we know it, after all, we’ll begin dealing with the cold and snow of late autumn and winter. If the Old Farmer’s Almanac predictions ring true, we’re in for plenty of cold and snow that might keep spring at bay longer than normal.

December will kick off on a snowy note with the heaviest snow falling through the middle of the month. Don’t count on a white Christmas, however. The beginning through the middle of January and mid-February are expected to be particularly snowy.
