Our top 17 viewer submitted photos of 2020
Although it seems that the year was filled with gloom and doom, we did see some sunny days. On this particular day, one of our viewers caught a fantastic picture of a B-2 Bomber over the columns at Mizzou. M-I-Z!
We may not have seen a ton of snow, but we did receive enough snow on October 26th to give us this scene out of Centralia.
The calm after one of our September storms was captured perfectly in this image. (If you look closely, the trees in the lower righthand corner of the picture are completely uprooted...yikes!)
Although this severe weather season wasn't the craziest we've seen, we still picked up some quarter sized hail in Versailles on the 27th of March.
Here in the Weather Center, we always appreciate close up pictures of snowflakes.
It's always been told that the rainbow is a sign of hope. Does this picture give us hope that 2021 will be better than this year?
Do you remember way back in May when we were all still 20 pounds lighter and hadn't cut our own hair? This storm rolled through late in the month and gave us some impressive sights.
While the Midwest is often overlooked for it's beauty, we really do have some knockout sunsets.
While it seems like eons since the spring started, you may remember that we had some pretty significant rainfall events that lead to flooding like in the picture below.
2020 started in a similar fashion as 2021 with some impressive ice accumulations.
Now, I had to throw this picture in from COMO during an impressive storm. I mean, look at that cloud to ground strike!
I love the ocean just as much as the next person, but this much water in central Missouri is out of place.
We didn't see a white Christmas, but way back in January we did get to see some snow accumulations.
This picture fully summarizes the strength and impact that weather can have on the environment around us.
While the bulk of the last storm of 2020 fell in the late evening, we woke up to the icy effects of that system.
This last picture isn't weather-related, I felt that it summarized 2020 perfectly....aside from the fact that they were able to find toilet paper.
