Winter Storm Ends, Cold Weather Remains

The winter storm that blanketed the Ozarks and much of Missouri over the weekend is gone, but our coldest weather of the season remains in place for a couple of more days.

Wind chill readings as low as 5 to 10 degrees below zero prompted the National Weather Service to issue a Cold Weather Advisory for Springfield and areas west of Highway 65 through 10am Monday.

Springfield officially received 1.2 inches of snow, while Kansas City had 11.6 inches on the ground, and the Columbia area got 5 inches of snow, but a slot more sleet.

Parts of northern Missouri, including Cameron and Saint Joseph, picked up 13 inches of snow.

Some areas north and east of Springfield had more than a half inch of ice, downing trees.

A number of power outages remain across the state. Get information on power outages in the Ozarks and statewide here.

Road conditions are improving in the Springfield area and points south, but many roads in the central and northern parts of Missouri are still snow and ice covered. Get statewide road conditions here with the MoDOT Traveler Information Map.

The cold temps will remain with us through midweek as we don’t warm above freezing until Thursday.
