City manager Brian Platt says planning, technology and an aggressive approach to snow removal are making city streets passable.

Kansas City is springing back to life after businesses and residents did their best to take the snow days in stride. Now, city street crews are working to clear roads covered in snow and ice. The city is asking for help in identifying roads that need attention.

While the snowstorm closed many Kansas City restaurants and kept diners at home, one short-staffed kitchen offered a special soup service after the blizzard. It was up to customers to supply their own noodles.

With several inches of snow fallen Kansas City and the city devoting extra resources to getting the streets cleared, trash and recycling will not be picked up on Monday, and Tuesday. Instead, homes with Monday and Tuesday collection days should save their waste for next week,

While there’s little snow to plow in southeast Wisconsin, a team of local snowplow drivers has been battling a historic blizzard more than 500 miles away in Kansas City.
