A snow emergency is currently in effect within the City of Sedalia. Residents are reminded that when more than 2 inches of snow/sleet/ice is expected or occurs within a 24‐hour period, snow emergency routes are automatically in effect. 

According to a news release, parking is prohibited along Emergency Snow Routes once the snow emergency occurs. Street crews are currently working to keep these designated streets as clear as possible to allow for emergency vehicle use.

The City encourages drivers to delay travel if possible until after the snow stops so MoDOT, county and city crews have an opportunity to clear roadways. Travelers can check for current travel conditions at MoDOT’s “Traveler Info Map” available at  www.modot.org.
