The National Weather Service (NWS) in St. Louis says warmer weather over the next few days is expected to help an ice jam on the Missouri River in mid-Missouri.
The NWS says the ice jam is between Glasgow and Boonville, causing record low flows at Jefferson City and at Hermann.
Temperatures in Columbia and Jefferson City are expected to be in the mid to upper 60s today. Temperatures just one week ago were below zero, during the winter storm that brought snow and freezing rain.
Interesting, but why is this important as ‘breaking news’. It’s a regular winter event. How about an article where the local people push for armed officers to partrol the ‘shooting gallery’ areas of Columbia? Start treating those areas as problem zones and put an old fashioned ‘paddy wagon’ on every block to dump the offenders into.
