Forecasters are warning that bitter cold temperatures will follow the storm.
The Missouri Transportation Department was advising people to stay off the roads if possible on Sunday. The National Weather Service says wind chills could drop below negative 20 in eastern Nebraska on Monday morning.

Across parts of the Midwest, the snow could pile up fast enough to strand motorists along major highways on Sunday.
At its peak, the snow may fall at a rate of one to two inches per hour.
The combination of the storm track and proximity of mild air is expected to cause rain or a mix of rain, sleet and snow to fall during the height of the storm along the Intestate 95 corridor from Washington, DC, to Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City and Boston.
The storm is the latest in a string that has dumped record levels of snow and rain this winter.
Weather experts said the culprit is an atmospheric river of moisture coming from north of Hawaii.
The phenomenon has become frequent enough that scientists in California are introducing a 1-through-5 scale of intensity for atmospheric rivers, similar to those used to gauge hurricanes.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
