Columbia residents share their snowstorm experiences on social media

Here's a look at what Columbia residents had to say about traffic, road conditions, and snow depth measurements throughout today's snowstorm.

  1. The Missourian collected a selection of photos from Twitter showing snow depth measurements around the city. You can view the album here on Flickr. If you have a measurement of your own, tweet it to @CoMissourian with the hashtag #CoMoSnow.
  2. From reports on traffic to updates on road conditions and acts of kindness, drivers shared their experiences on the Columbia's roads during the snowstorm today.
  3. Traffic on Providence is moving but slowly. Have you made it home yet? #CoMoSnow http://pic.twitter.com/TwFMpGIVev
  4. Lots of social media reports of good Samaritans pushing people out of ditches, etc. - another reason #midMO is special! #CoMoSnow
  5. COLUMBIA - After hours of traffic at a dead stop, MoDOT officially closed a stretch of I-70 near the U.S. 63 interchange Thursday afternoon. Drivers report having not moved for more than an hour. the stretch between the Lake of the Wood exit and U.S. 63 is experiencing the worst of the jam.
  6. When firefighters have to WALK to get to an emergency scene, it's safe to say folks should stay inside. #CoMoSnow #winterstormQ
  7. @kbia traffic conditions still hectic from #comosnow on the east side of town, at Broadway and Williams street. http://pic.twitter.com/Z1cMYSl6Ee
  8. I saw a skier by Broadway and Old 63 braving #CoMoSnow before I knew I would be pushing 2 cars for half an hour. http://pic.twitter.com/2pCMqwLT22
  9. Found the problem on this side, that's a Columbia transit bus stuck up the hill and backing up traffic. http://pic.twitter.com/LILFRyXs06
  10. Shoutout to the people who are going out of their way to drive people home. You guys are awesome. #thundersnowrescue #comosnow
  11. Ad hoc crews of helpful bystanders assemble to push stuck cars on Fifth and Elm #CoMoSnow http://pic.twitter.com/rx3kzR2cqF
  12. View from The Reserve at Old Hwy 63 S. Cars are having trouble getting up the hill and roads are covered #CoMoSnow
