Old Man Winter said, "One more time" Monday morning across Jefferson City and much of Mid-Missouri.
A heavy wet snow began coming down around 2 a.m. and kept on coming. The worst conditions occurred just before the morning rush hour began. Roads became slick quickly, forcing law enforcement to change into four-wheel drive vehicles to get around.
Numerous vehicles, mainly tractor trailers, could not make it on the slick roads. Around 4:30 a.m., U.S. 54 from Missouri Boulevard to Missouri 179 going south was closed by police in order to get numerous tractor trailers off the road. Officers reopened the road just before 5:15 a.m.
The area around eastbound U.S. 50 at 179 was also shut down for a short time just after 5 a.m. so vehicles could be removed.
No injuries were reported in the early morning accidents.
