More snow is expected tonight into Friday morning, and the timing of the snow can put it through the region at a poor time of the day -the morning peak.
Another round of light snow tonight. Most locales near 1 inch – some spots in the 1-2 in. range. #stlwx #mowx #ilwx pic.twitter.com/c18M29PPxJ

The snow hit at the poor time Wednesday but this section of 270 did not see the problems that plagued Tuesday morning. However, it did not go incident free:

Unlike the I-70 drive, however, the incidents happened at the tail end of the evening peak. The evening peak was much slower than normal, however.

However, if that one traffic reporter still did his “Good Hands” route of the day plug, this would be a good candidate:

In weather like last night, however, usually the hills of North County rear their ugly heads. After the horrible Tuesday morning peak, the people that usually use 270 were thinking twice.
There is more snow expected later this weekend but there will not be a discussion before Saturday about that.
