ORIGINAL STORY | Kansas City area residents woke up to around an inch of snow Wednesday morning.
A winter weather advisory was issued for the area Tuesday night and will expire at 9 a.m. Wednesday.
Meteorologist Lindsey Anderson said snow should end around 6 a.m. for most parts of the metro.
Several school districts canceled classes or moved to remote learning due to the morning snow and the ability for crews to treat side streets in time for classes.
Snow crews in most jurisdictions started treating roads late Tuesday night to be prepared for the morning accumulation.
Right now @KCMO plows and salt trucks are on the roads. We’re seeing some snow accumulation on the streets. @DaishaJonesKSHB @lnanderson @41actionnews pic.twitter.com/erGmvbze9N
