Coldmageddon Hits Missouri

(MISSOURINET) –  The Missouri Department of Transportation’s Traveler Information Map shows several roads are covered with snow and ice across the state. It shows covered roads in northwest and northern Missouri, as well as a few in the Kansas City area, southern and southeast Missouri. Jason Shafer, with MoDOT, says too many people are driving for non-essential reasons and are driving too fast for conditions.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says many drivers are traveling without their headlights and taillights turned on. Gusty winds are causing blowing snow and problems seeing down the road.
