Wintertime may be breathtakingly beautiful. However, after the business of the holidays dies down, life tends to get a lot quieter, and, for many, the winter blues set in. That makes winter an ideal time to go on a getaway, and you won’t find a better – or more fun – place than one of Missouri’s snowiest towns. Here’s more on why you’ll want to plan a winter getaway in Missouri to Fulton, one of the state’s most charming small towns.

Snowy winter days aren’t really the norm in some areas of Missouri, but Fulton receives some of the most snowfall in the state each winter. In 2022, it secured the second spot in Missouri with 19.4 inches of snow.
