The National Weather Service issued a major winter storm warning for the Kansas City region. The storm system is expected to bring 6-10+” of snow along with strong winds beginning tonight and continue overnight.
Due to this warning, the City of Blue Springs urges residents to avoid unnecessary travel and move vehicles off all streets for the duration of the storm. Vehicles parked on streets impede plowing efforts and can slow emergency response vehicles.
Public Works primary crews are prepping the roads in anticipation for tonight’s storm and are expected to enter Phase I operations early tomorrow morning. Crews will be working in 12-hour shifts until the storm subsides and streets are clear.
