That's why I find the timing ironic that Farmer's Almanac has just issued their outlook for the upcoming winter months of the rest of 2026 into early 2027. They say Missouri, in particular, could see sudden snow squalls along with some other "surprises". They say that the Midwest including Missouri "could experience sudden snow squalls, blustery winds, and bursts of bitter cold". Because of the anticipation of El Niño influencing the upcoming winter, Farmer's Almanac is predicting wetter than normal conditions across the southern part of America. I'm very much in favor of cold bursts and snow squalls getting interrupted.
