Kara Price, a spokesperson for the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), said workers have been pretreating the roads since Saturday night in anticipation of the storm.

"We'll have full crews coming in overnight and throughout the day since it's supposed to be an all-day storm," she said. "We're most concerned about the evening rush, so we'll be hitting the roads with extra salt before then."
