Storm leaves more than foot of snow in parts of Missouri

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A massive winter storm that has moved across the country this week left more than a foot of snow in parts of northeastern Missouri, shutting downs schools and services and snarling traffic in both Kansas and Missouri. The National Weather Service reports that Hannibal, Missouri, saw 12.5 inches of snow over Wednesday and Thursday, while parts of St. Louis received a foot of snow. To the west, Weir in the southeastern corner of Kansas saw nearly 7 inches of snow. The storm had moved out of the region by Friday morning, but left a mess on roads and interstates in its wake. The Missouri State Patrol reported it responded to thousands of calls during the two-day storm of stranded motorists and crashes.
