February in Missouri - Cold! Cold! Cold!

“A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.†~ Carl Reiner (Chart from The Missouri Climate Center)


I saw a robin red breast today. Hopefully it is an indication that winter will soon release its grip on the Show-Me State.


While we’re still waiting on the final data, it looks like the winter of 2013-14 may be the coldest in 35 years.


Today’s guest is Pat Guinan, climatologist for University of Missouri Extension’s Commercial Agriculture Program. He talks about the cold, the lack of needed precipitation and a rare event in Missouri.
