winter

We already know Illinois is considered one of the worst places to live in America, so what could it possibly be now?

I think it's safe to say that most of us have warmed our vehicles up during the winter months without being in it and not given it a second thought. Did you know that technically you're breaking the law in Illinois, but that includes a very big "but".

If you don't like snow, it would be best to not look at the updated long-range forecast from the National Weather Service. If it's accurate, both Missouri and Illinois could be in for a very wet winter.

It is possible that you might be a law-breaker and not even know it. Do you warm up your car without you in it? It's actually illegal, but there is an exception.

Well, nobody saw this one coming. Many parts of the St. Louis area were surprised when they woke up Saturday morning and found up to 6 inches of snow on the ground in some areas.

This is one of those predictions I really hope is wrong since I'm not a fan of snow. The Climate Prediction Center is calling for a very wet winter right now for the tri-state area and specifically in Missouri and Illinois.

I did not know there are two different Farmer's Almanac. The new one thinks the upcoming winter for Missouri and Illinois will be horrific. The other one is now predicting that our winter really won't be so bad.

I know how you feel, kid. It's possible that you have captured the emotions all of us feel in the dead of winter as you try to play basketball. I feel your pain.

I found this funny, but I'll admit that funny is probably not the right response to a pronouncement made by a major website that Hannibal is one of the coziest towns in Missouri when it comes to winter. Let's explore this.

Try not to laugh as you read this, but warmer than normal temperatures have been predicted by the weather experts for both Missouri and Illinois. Let's hope they're correct.
