Crews respond as snow blankets area

HANNIBAL — Local crews were prepared ahead of Wednesday’s snowfall, which canceled school and brought a significant decrease in traffic.
Marion County Sheriff Jimmy Shinn said traffic was below normal levels throughout the day — with school and other events being canceled, he said people were taking extra precautions. Minor and major routes were still covered as snow fell at noon, and Shinn reported there had been several single slide-off accidents but no collisions.
Missouri Department of Transportation and Hannibal Street Department crew members and law enforcement officials all were prepared for the wintry conditions that began early Monday.
Edie Graupman, management assistant for the Department of Public Works, said Hannibal street crews began pre-treating city streets with a liquid brine mix Tuesday during the day and evening, allowing the substance to begin to melt the snow before heading out with their plows.
