According to the National Weather
Service, our first killing frost or freeze will hit southwestern
Missouri long about November the 1st! So, the month will
likely enter in a chilly fashion.
According to my personal weather
records for the previous two years, 2013 got into cold temperatures
early on and perhaps helped to set the stage for the brutal winter
that was to come. Does anyone remember the term 'winter
vortex'? That rather rare setup occurred last year and really
plunged much of the nation into the meat locker over an extended
period of time!
This year, the predictions for the
winter of 2014-15 are all over the board. Some meteorologists see a
mixed bag for much of the nation with southwest Missouri becoming
colder and wetter than normal with more in the way of ice storms. I
hope that one doesn't pan out.
