Snow: Yes, They Really Mean It; Up to 11 Inches

We've been hoping forecasters would back off that prediction for a large spring snowfall, but they haven't.

Our hopes for a change of heart among weather forecasters have been dashed. The National Weather Service and local meteorologists are still calling for a massive winter storm to sweep over the St. Louis metro area overnight tonight. Glenn Zimmerman, meteorologist for Patch news partner FOX2, says rain should start tonight in the area at about 9 or 10 p.m., changing into snow sometime Sunday morning. He said the heaviest bursts of snowfall may be from around noon to 2 p.m. That forecast differs only slight from the storm alert from the National Weather Service: Rain will overspread the area Saturday evening. The rain is expected to mix with and change over to snow late Saturday night and early Sunday morning. Snow, heavy at times, should …

St. Peters Schedules Early Trash Pickup Thursday

With the threat of snow, St. Peters is asking residents to set their trash out early.

The threat of snow on Thursday has led to the city of St. Peters to ask solid waste customers on the Thursday trash pick-up schedule to set out their trash cart early. Customers are being asked to set them out tonight or before 5 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 21. St. Peters’ Solid Waste trucks will be out 1 ½ hours earlier than normal on Thursday morning to try and beat the snow. Residents are asked not to place trash cans in the street. Along with the early trash pickup, St. Peters is asking residents to move parked cars and other obstructions from the street to make snow and ice clearing operations more effective. Friday trash collection will be on a normal schedule.
