Winter swept into St. Louis on Dec. 5th starting with scattered sleet and freezing rain before turning to snow and piling up close to 4″ in parts of the metro. Since then, Mother Nature has dealt the entire metro blow after blow, culminating with the record breaking snows that started last weekend.
To make matters worse, January’s snow has been accompanied by extremely cold temperatures, resulting in even more headaches for anyone involved in snow removal. The January 5th event was the second coldest snow event, that exceeded 10 inches, in St. Louis history.
