Morning Surprise: Snow Falls on Morning Commute

Just six days before the start of spring, snow falls on St. Peters

Just when it seemed St. Peters had put winter in its rearview mirror, a wintry surprise was waiting on Monday morning.

Residents woke up to falling snow, covered roads and slick side walks. A late-night wintry mix started around 10 p.m. and didn't stop. By the time workers were waking up and ready for the morning commute, snow was falling. 

Sidewalks and roads were covered in a slushy mix, slowing down drivers heading into work. The MoDOT traveler information map shows plenty of covered roads in St. Charles County. Plows were out early in St. Peters hitting the roads and trying to keep up with the storm.
