Winter Views Along the St. Francis River 1/15/2019
We actually got some winter here in Missouri this past weekend. Generally, a good quarter of the state received around a foot of snowfall. A rare snowfall that allowed me to even get out and snowshoe! Although just south of us received a dusting, it was still a nice addition that added life to the…
