My husband is on the road that's having to travel in caution coming Southbound on I-35 from 80 miles North of Kansas City. We didn't realize it was going to be this bad out. I have been watching MYFOX and haven't seen anything, so I went to Weather.com and they have issued a "Snow & Blowing Snow Advisory" for our area. I have copied it here for anyone interested.

Fox 4 Weather Team,
It's snowing in the Bethany, MO area and I looked up on the Weather Channel's website and I can see a band of snow that stretches from NE into MO. Do you see this as being a snow threat for those who are in the Bethany area?
