The heaviest part of the snowfall from a winter storm that surprised Kansas City on Thursday morning is starting to move east of the immediate metro area, leaving behind slippery roads and highways. As of 6 a.m., 2.7 inches of snow had fallen at Kansas City International Airport. Meanwhile, Johnson and Wyandotte counties had between 2 and 3 inches of snow and Jackson and Clay counties had 1 to 2 inches, according to the National Weather Service. The snow was falling so heavily, KCI had to shut down its airfield for about a half hour so that crews could clear taxiways and runways at the beginning of the travel day. The airfield reopened around 7 a.m., but not before dozens of flights had been delayed or canceled. The snow also caused schools across the metro to cancel classes or turn to online learning.
