Most students head back to school amid freezing temperatures

Most students will head back to school Tuesday after having Monday off due to weather and road conditions.

A few schools, such as Moberly public schools, have canceled classes for Tuesday, while others have class but buses will be running snow routes, such as Boonville R-I schools. For a full list of closures and alternate routes, click here.

However, students who have class Tuesday morning will have to brave freezing temperatures.

ABC 17 Stormtrack Meteorologist Brigit Mahoney said the temperatures will drop into the low teens Tuesday morning, and it will feel even colder because of the wind chill, which will drop temperatures to the single digits.

According to the National Weather Service, it could take only 30 minutes for a person to get frost bite with temperatures in the low teens and wind chills in the single digits.

The NWS said to wear multiple layers of clothing and cover the extremities to reduce the chance of frost bite.
