Preparing for the Upcoming Snowstorm: Tips for Kansas City and the Lake of the Ozarks Residents

Updated: 7 days ago


As the weekend approaches, meteorologists are forecasting a significant snowstorm set to impact Kansas City and the Lake of the Ozarks regions. Early preparation can make all the difference in keeping your property safe.


Understanding the Storm’s Impact


Kansas City is expected to experience light snow beginning Saturday afternoon and continuing through Sunday, January 5. Ice accumulation is also likely. A Winter Storm Watch is currently in effect through late Sunday night (National Weather Service Kansas City).


At the Lake of the Ozarks, the storm is expected to bring a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain. On Sunday, January 5, significant ice accumulations are anticipated, with icy conditions posing additional threats to homes and roads. A Winter Storm Watch is also in effect for this area (National Weather Service Lake of the Ozarks).

Protecting Your Property


Protecting your property before the storm can save you from costly repairs. 

  • Insulating exposed pipes is critical to prevent freezing and bursting. 

  • Gutters and downspouts should be cleared of debris to allow proper drainage and reduce the risk of ice dams forming on your roof. 

  • It’s also wise to inspect your roof for loose shingles or other vulnerabilities that could worsen under the weight of snow or ice. 

  • Additionally, ensure your heating system is serviced and in good working condition to keep your home warm throughout the storm.


Staying Safe During the Storm


During extreme weather, safety should be your top priority. Stock your home with essentials and avoid traveling if possible, as icy roads and low visibility can make driving dangerous. If you rely on space heaters or fireplaces for additional warmth, follow safety guidelines to prevent fire risks.
