Heavier snow moves into Kansas City, with dozens of car crashes reported Friday Robert A. Cronkleton, The Kansas City Star Jan. 15—A band of snow working its way into the north side of the Kansas City metro area early in the lunch hour Friday will lead to deteriorating road conditions for the next two hours, the National Weather Service in Kansas City said on Twitter. The blowing snow is from a winter storm that is limiting visibility in the metro, where Kansas City police responded to dozens of car crashes that caused injures Friday. The storm is bringing blizzard conditions to areas north of Kansas City.
