Quick -- do an impression of a deer. Can you? And is it even close to what this deer sounds like?

LEE’S SUMMIT, Mo. – Saturday’s forecast: Deer and Snow. Only deer is a certainty at this time, since Saturday marks the start of the primary firearms hunting season in Missouri.  Adding to that will be the possibility of the season’s first snow, which could make roads slick...

LEE’S SUMMIT, Mo. – If you were to pick the Missouri city where you are most likely to strike a deer with your car, would you pick Kansas City?  Maybe Lee’s Summit? They ranked first and second in 2011 for deer-vehicle collisions in Missouri.

Winter finally made a big encore performance and it was a blessing.  It may be a pain and we may complain about it, but the farmers and lakes really need the water.  I think this added about three inches of moisture to the ground with both storms combined.  We are still well below the norm, but every little bit helps.  The storm brought a lot of trees down and left a lot of people without power.
