Computer models are a funny thing. They rely on a many variables and even if just one changes, the forecast is probably invalid. That being said, there are many models and some forecasters that do believe that snow is possible in Missouri next week.
By now, I'm sure you're aware that Missouri was a slick place to be Monday after ice canvased the area. Security camera video shows a Missouri guy who suddenly got pulled from his driveway into the street when he ended up on a sheet of ice.
I don't think I've ever seen a more crazy winter weather moment than this one. There's an insane video showing what I believe is a firetruck in the St. Louis, Missouri area doing a complete 360 in a neighborhood after hitting ice.
If you need evidence that it's best to stay off the highways and roads today, take a look at this. A new video shows that Highway 61 in Missouri is at a complete lockdown due to ice.
We already know that Monday morning could see icy conditions in most of Missouri and Illinois. But, now new models show that danger is increasing greatly with up to a half inch possible in some places according to the National Weather Service.
It likely won't last long, but there's a good chance that much of the Monday morning commute will be a bit perilous for parts of Missouri and Illinois thanks to a sudden ice event that forecasters expect to happen.
If you're new to Missouri, you should prepare for anything and everything during the winter months. Having been born and raised here, I can warn you that it's best to expect the unexpected.
The ice storm that moved through the northern parts of the Midwest took its toll causing thousands to be without power. Another casualty which led to the power outages was the moment the ice storm caused a transformer in Illinois to blow sky high. That moment was captured on video.
