It's that question we have every year, will we see a white Christmas? In Missouri, it's never a given that we'll see snow on or before Christmas day. In West Central Missouri, in my opinion, winter doesn't start to kick in until this time of year, with most of our snow and the coldest weather of the season hitting from January through early March. So will Missouri see a white Christmas this year? That answer depends on where you are in Missouri.
