The Columbia Public Works department says, based on local forecasts for winter weather, the department decided to start pre-treating roadways this morning.

There have been numerous power outages in Mid-Missouri today as the area is experiencing a winter storm with high winds.

Columbia Public School district spokesperson Michelle Baumstark says three Columbia schools were experiencing sporadic power outages Thursday morning due to a winter storm in the area. Baumstark says the outages at New Haven elementary school, Parkade elementary school and West Junior High School started around 9:45am Thursday.

Officials from the Columbia Public School District say all schools in the distract are closed Monday due to early morning snow fall which covered the city's roads.
