Many churches and businesses closed as a precaution Saturday night through Sunday morning as freezing rain moved into the Kansas City area.

Some even took extra measures to get to work. Wayside Waifs had some of their staff spend the night to help take care of the animals.

The heaviest part of the ice storm was concentrated south, in places like Miami County, Kansas.

But Kansas City was still slippery!

Two Kansas Highway Patrol Troopers were struck on I-635 while on the scene of a crash, but no one was hurt.

MoDOT and KDOT crews worked overnight and throughout the morning to help make the roads safer.

KCP&L crews were on the scene early in the morning fixing the outages that left 2,200 customers without power in Jackson County. Most of the power has been restored.

Many flights were canceled, but KCI remained open.

RideKC offered a warming bus to help riders stay warm.

As conditions improved throughout the morning, Chiefs fans were already seen lining up at Arrowhead for the Chiefs vs. Steelers game around 10:30 a.m.
