Some areas saw as much as 6 inches of snow, sleet and frozen precipitation.
A Thursday forecast of snow, sleet and other freezing precipitation that largely followed through as predicted will see Missouri Department of Transportation and other municipal street crews working into Friday to get ready for the morning commute. That, along with a National Weather Service forecast that called for additional nighttime snow and sleet accumulation of less than a half inch, has led many school districts, including Parkway, Rockwood and Ft. Zumwalt among many others, to cancel classes Friday. Our news partners at FOX2 have a complete list of school closings.

The sirens will sound statewide as part of a National Weather Service initiative to get people thinking about being prepared for severe weather.
Today is Tornado Safety Day across Missouri. The sirens will sound across the state at 1:30 this afternoon. The National Weather Service has designated this week as Severe Weather Awareness Week for Missouri. The service emphasizes everyone should have a severe weather plan. When the sirens sound today, schools, businesses, and government offices should practice what to do in case of a tornado. Individuals are encouraged to take part too. The Federal Communication Commission granted a waiver to the state of Missouri to allow the National Weather Service to use the tornado warning code on NOAA weather radio. It will be announced as a test. Each day this week has a different focus.
