16 Shots Of Missouri That Will Drop Your Frozen Jaw This Winter

Missouri in winter is unpredictable, to say the least.  Snow, rain, ice, sleet, hail, or sun…it’s all possible. We can, and often do, experience all four seasons in a single 24-hour stretch.  On the other hand, when the temperature drops and things freeze, you can see some pretty amazing sights unique to any other time.  Here are a few times the ice and snow added a new perspective, showing off the true magic of winter in Missouri.

Beautiful contrast of the geese with the cold, dreary lake and bare trees. Winters in Missouri might be brutal sometimes, but they sure are gorgeous.

The snow causes the trees to blend together so you can't tell which limbs belong to which tree. Isn't winter in MO simply spellbinding?
