Doppler radar continues to track a quick moving band of snow
moving into the Truman Lake area. Some areas will see visibilities
drop to less than 1 mile for periods of 15 to 20 minutes, with
wind gusts above 30 MPH. While actual snowfall accumulations will
be less than one inch, melting and re- freezing of snow on roads
