It's bad all over the State. Pictures from Columbia: US 63 in Columbia, and Providence Road just south of Farout Field. Total frickin' mess:

Do people there tend to have snow tires? We get a couple of storms a winter like that but since we are used to it, people tend to have good tires and the state is good on keeping on top of the plowing and de-icing so you don't see snarled traffic like that. However, over on the coast, they aren't used to it or prepared so snow and/or ice really makes a mess.

When you have 9 or 10 inches of snow, nobody is going anywhere unless they're in a big ass 4-wheel drive. Regular cars and tractor trailers are toast with that much snow. The whole state of Missouri is a mess today. Snow north of I-70, Ice south.

I had to go out for a bit and hit a snow bank..not quite hard enough to get through it. A Marine pulled over and spent an hour helping dig me out. He wouldn't accept a dime from me. If you are on here(doubtful) I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart bro.

Awesome. Wife had to go in this morning for a Partners Meeting, and now she's stuck at work - which is 40 miles away. The only route she has home (I-44) is closed because people can't get up this hill:
Looking east towards the bottom of that hill: Looking west from the same spot: Even further west, looking eastbound: |
