A 14-person snow plow crew reported for duty at 7 p.m. Friday as the first impactful snowfall of the season is expected to come through the area, according to a social media post from the city.
A few inches of snow are possible throughout Mid-Missouri early Saturday, prompting the ABC 17 News Stormtrack Weather Team to call for a Weather Alert Day.
“Public Works staff will continue monitoring the storm as it tracks primarily north of Columbia. If the front shifts south, additional resources will be activated. Extra crew members are on standby. A daytime crew is scheduled to report at 7 a.m. Saturday to continue monitoring conditions,” a social media post from the City of Columbia Public Works says.
The Missouri Department of Transportation is also prepping for the potential snowfall, with areas north of Boone County expected to get more precipitation with 2-4 inches.
