01.31.2011The National Weather Service has issued a Blizzard Warning for all mid-Missouri counties.
This is the first time the Weather Service in St. Louis has ever had to issue a Blizzard Warning for any area.
According the the Weather Service, a Blizzard Warning is issued when sustained wind speeds or frequent gusts of over 35 mph are expected for several hours with considerable falling and/or blowing and drifting snow.
A Blizzard Warning is mainly used to make motorists aware of white-out conditions, which make travel extremely dangerous.
