A potent storm system lifted northeast from Oklahoma through Arkansas and Missouri on January 24th and 25th, bringing widespread precipitation across the Missouri Ozarks beginning as rain during the late morning and afternoon on January 24th before changing over to snow during the afternoon and evening. This snow continued into the morning hours of January 25th before coming to an end as the storm system exited the region.||Snowfall amounts generally ranged from 1 to 3 inches for areas along and northwest of a Joplin to Stockton to Lake of the Ozarks line. There was a sharp cutoff in heavy snow near Interstate 44, with many locations seeing 6 to 8 inches south of Interstate 44 and up to 12 inches near West Plains. Roads became completely covered and slick across the region for the evening commute of January 24th and also into the morning commute on January 25th due to the ongoing snow. Several slide offs and vehicle accidents occurred as a result of the slick road conditions. Numerous schools were closed across the region on January 25th, with some even doing early dismissals on January 24th. Some schools also remain closed into January 26th in the areas that received higher snow amounts across south central Missouri. Total power outages reached over 50 thousand across southern and south central Missouri from the heavy snow, with numerous power outages continuing in Howell, Shannon and Oregon Counties into January 27th.

A storm system initially brought one to two hours of freezing drizzle during the early morning hours of December 22nd before precipitation changed over to light snow. A brief band of moderate to heavy snow then moved southeast across the area during the mid morning into afternoon hours, leading to visibilities as low as one quarter of a mile or less along with very gusty winds and blowing snow at times. Light snow lingered for another hour or two behind the heavier snow band before coming to an end. The light glaze of ice became covered by generally 1 to 3 inches of snow, leading to slick roads, numerous vehicle crashes and slide offs across the area, and power outages across portions of the area. Numerous schools that weren't already off for the Christmas Holiday cancelled school for both December 22nd and December 23rd.||Brutally cold temperatures and wind chills also settled into the area with and behind the snowfall. Record to near record low temperatures were common on the morning of December 23rd with subzero lows, highs in the single digits above zero, and minimum wind chills as low as -20 to -37 degrees. Cold low temperatures in the single digits above zero and wind chills in the single digits to teens below zero continued into the morning of December 24th, as well.
