Snowstorm

Up to 20 inches of sleet and snow fell across central Missouri during the night, bringing human travel to a hault. I-70 was closed from Marshall to Kingdom City and both U.S. 63 and U.S. 54 were shut down. The intense storm, which dropped 1-2 inches per hour at times, included snow thunderstorms, a sign of high altitude development.

But the day turned sunny and bright and a gentle south wind indicated that the storm had moved quickly to the northeast. Life will soon return to normal and we'll go back to thinking that man rules this planet.
