2025 ABC 17 Stormtrack Winter Weather Special set to air Nov. 21

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Mid-Missouri has experienced a couple of chilly stretches this fall, but even colder air is on the way. Viewers will get a look at what to expect with the annual ABC 17 Stormtrack Winter Weather Special, airing on Nov. 21.

In the 30-minute special, ABC 17 Stormtrack Chief Meteorologist Jessica Hafner will break down the global pattern that may influence our weather in her long-range winter forecast.

Winter weather conditions can often mean waking up to an icy driveway. The ABC 17 Stormtrack Weather Team will break down the science behind two common types of ice melt so you can decide what works best for you.

Viewers will also see stories about the easiest ways to keep their homes comfortable while saving money on their energy bills, and how warmer winters can lead some communities to see more green plants outside as invasive species adapt to the climate.

Missouri can’t always count on mounds of snow, but there are ways to experience it. We’ll show you how Hidden Valley Ski Resort crews work to make winter dreams a reality.

Catch these stories and more in the ABC 17 Stormtrack Winter Weather Special on Friday, Nov. 21 at 6:30 p.m. on KMIZ.
