Winter weather update

Tomorrow is traditionally the second biggest shopping day of the year.  If you are planning on going to the St. Louis metropolitan area shopping tomorrow, it might be wise to alter your plans.

Interstate 64 from Washington county on is a stand still.  KMOV Channel 4 in St. Louis just ran a report from emergency icy-conditonsmanagement officials to stay off the roads until Monday.

Several have been posting on social media that the Mt. Vernon area has been experiencing freezing drizzle.  The farther north you go on 57 the worse it gets.  I know that several people from Franklin County go to the outlet malls in Effingham and Tuscola to shop.  Plans might be reconsidered as well there too.

Franklincounty-news. com will be updating frequently with changing weather conditions, closings, and altering of times.  Stay warm and safe this weekend.
