Missouri can be great but the extremes of each season are common. Fall can be like a stereotype from a book, Spring is very wet. This also makes the bugs get the maximum of what they need. The ticks, chiggers, Mosquitos, etc are a handful. I love Missouri but am gonna stick with CO. BTW... MO is the Meth capital of the world (the other post is completly right on this one). That is no joke. A lot of people are dirt poor and Meth is cheap to make. One oddity is that you will have to get a full perscription to get simple cough/sleep medicine. This is due to again the meth, codine is apparently a main ingredient.
