Mid-Missouri Faces Severe Winter Weather Challenges

Mid-Missouri and parts of Maryland are experiencing significant winter weather disruptions, with snow removal crews working extensively to clear roads. In Columbia, public works officials have been focused on priority routes while also addressing neighborhood streets, as bitterly cold temperatures pose a risk of refreezing. Annapolis has received six to seven inches of snow, with city officials estimating that snow emergency routes will be passable within 30 hours post-storm. Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., officials have moved vehicles from emergency snow areas and are urging residents to stay off the roads to facilitate snow removal. Lexington is dealing with complications from ice and fallen debris, which has slowed their snow plowing efforts. Across the regions, the advice remains consistent: residents should avoid unnecessary travel to allow crews to effectively clear the roads.
