Weather Update: Couple rounds of accumulating snow this weekend

Accumulating snow expected over the weekend will likely arrive in two rounds. Round #1 will be Saturday morning to Saturday night, which is when the majority of the snowfall expected. Then there could be a break in the snow before a secondary band sets up Sunday morning. Sunday's snowfall will be a bit lighter, with only another inch or two of accumulation expected through the afternoon hours. This snow will make travel through the weekend rather treacherous, so be safe and plan ahead!

Something new near Amsterdam

Work is nearly complete on a railroad crossing upgrade on Y highway, about a mile north of Amsterdam. The new equipment includes crossing arms, overhead lights and enhanced bell/audio warning system.

This particular intersection has been deemed especially dangerous because of an adjacent curve in the roadway and limited sight distance in both directions. Mary Redmond, of Linn Valley, Kansas and John South, of Amsterdam, Missouri were killed when their vehicle was struck by a train here in 2009.

The project is part of some 7,000 crossings in Missouri to receive upgrades through this year.
