Your furnace and/or your space heater is about to become your best friend and ally as the most widespread cold in a decade is about to descend on Missouri and it likely won't end quickly either.
The first warning was met with laughter and some disbelief, but now there's another that again says that temperatures in Illinois are about to take a deep dive and you won't have to wait long to experience it.
The day of the first hard freeze is a serious thing for many in Missouri who have plants that are not built for cold temperatures. According to history, you can expect below freezing temperatures sooner rather than later.
Would you agree that it's gotten warmer earlier than it normally does in Missouri? Does that mean we've seen our last freeze for the season? According to history, don't put your tomato plants out just yet.
