Columbia and much of mid-Missouri received two inches of snow on Friday, with heavier amounts to our east.

National Weather Service (NWS) St. Louis meteorologist Chris Kimble tells 939 the Eagle that their office in eastern Missouri’s Weldon Spring received 5.7 inches of snow, while Gerald in Franklin County received about four inches.

Columbia, Boone County and a number of mid-Missouri counties in the 939 the Eagle listening area were under a winter weather advisory on Friday morning and afternoon.
