Winter weather snarled traffic and travel around the lake region with a barrage of snow and slippery conditions that fell right in the middle of the day Friday. Troop F, which includes Camden, Miller, and Morgan counties, reported 331 calls for service from 10am-9pm. During that same time period they had 140 stranded motorists, 110 crashes, and 18 injuries. Those numbers included a chain reaction on Highway 54 involving an estimated 40 vehicles. That wreck backed up traffic from the edge of Eldon past Eugene into Cole County. Despite the numerous wrecks, there were no fatalities reported.
