BREAKING: Winter Weather Impacting Traffic, Camdenton Schools Dismissing Early

The first wintry mix of the season is bringing with it a Winter Weather Advisory along with several reports of traffic accidents, Highway-42 being shut down to traffic and at least one lake area school dismissing early.

Traffic accidents have been reported at highway-54 and route-KK as well as on routes routes A, MM and TT.

Traffic is also currently (11:26am) shut down on highway-42 between Kaiser and Brumley reportedly due to a jackknifed 18-wheeler.

MoDOT is also out in force trying to clear the roadways which are showing on the Traveler Information Map as at least partially covered with the worst of it right now in Camden and Morgan counties.

Also, at least one lake area school district…Camdenton R3…is dismissing at 2:00pm and will use snow routes.

The highway patrol and local law enforcement is urging drivers who have to get out to use more caution by giving yourself more time to get to your destinations and to be especially careful on bridges and overpasses.

The Winter Weather Advisory covering the entire lake area is in effect until midnight tonight.
