Jan. 12—Another round of snowfall moved into Northwest Missouri and Northeast Kansas overnight, ushering in a blast of bitterly cold temperatures.

Here’s the latest on local conditions:

Area roads have been covered with a dusting to an inch of additional snowfall since last night. Snow is expected to linger through Friday afternoon along with gusty winds leading to periods of blowing snow resulting in reduced visibility and hazardous travel conditions.
