Winter

Winter finally made a big encore performance and it was a blessing.  It may be a pain and we may complain about it, but the farmers and lakes really need the water.  I think this added about three inches of moisture to the ground with both storms combined.  We are still well below the norm, but every little bit helps.  The storm brought a lot of trees down and left a lot of people without power. 

Kids, the other day I asked you what people had done for you or what you'd done for others to help during the winter storm.  I thought we'd share some of your responses here!

So, do you think it's been a rough winter week? Let's see how much you know about winter. Do you know how big the world's largest snowflake was, the worlds largest snowman, or what was the coldest temperature ever recorded? This quiz over some of the most interesting winter facts will put you knowledge to the test.

We all know how tough it can be to get through these cold, winter storms.  When the snow is this high, everybody has it rough.  Whether it's getting out the door or out of your yard, it certainly takes work.

Mother nature has dumped a ton of snow on Mid-Missouri recently, making for some wild weather and great photo opportunities.  We want you to share your snowy photos with us!  Send us your snowman, your car buried with snow, your best snow angel or any other photos you'd like to share, and we'll put them in our winter photo gallery on the website.

The first big snow storm of 2013 hit this Thursday, Feb. 21. We want to know: how did your snow day go? Did you see any cars stuck? How much snow did you get?  Take our snowpocalypse survey and let us know!

Falls account for more than one million injuries in the U.S. annually. There are four types of walking accidents with the most common being the slip and fall. That's the type of fall that happens when you fall due a surface not cleared of snow or ice.

Could the last gasp of winter be coming this week? The National Weather Service is predicting snow to impact this area on Wednesday night (Feb. 20) and Thursday (Feb. 21). A Winter Storm Watch has been issued, and they are projecting that a bulk of the snow should be north of Highway 36, while I-70 and Highway 50 areas could get a lot of ice, sleet and snow.

You know all of that snow sitting outside your window that's turning into an icy mess as the days progress? Want to watch how it got there? Oh, good!

This winter, when the snow is piled high outside your doorway, or in the mountains nearby, you could head out into the cold and build a snowman or have an epic snowball fight. Those are some time-honored winter traditions, yet when the temperature drops, there’s so much more you can do.
