You might want to sit down for this. Have you received your electric bill yet this month? My Missouri bill that was formerly somewhat manageable has just exploded. Help.
It's not breaking news that you can expect summer to be hot in Missouri, but there are forecasts that seem to agree that the state may be about to start one of the warmest in history and it also might be one of the stormiest, too.
Since I was born and raised in Hannibal, I'm not exactly the most objective person when it comes to pros and cons about my birthplace and childhood home. I will admit that I was pleasantly surprised though when I saw that Hannibal was just named the best summer destination in Missouri. Could it really be true?
Summer won't officially arrive for a couple of weeks, but the heat isn't waiting. Missouri looks to be just days away from triple digit temperatures based on new forecasts and computer models.
Normally, we agree with the rankings from these experts but this time, they got it wrong. Why did they rank Missouri's best summer destination so low on the list? Here is why we think they disrespected the Show-Me State...
In case you didn't know somehow, Missouri and Illinois are located next to each other and I can prove it with a map. The reason I bring this up is there's a new forecast from Farmer's Almanac that claims Missouri and Illinois will have the complete opposite types of summer and it makes no sense to me.
