  "episodeNarrative": "Widespread snowfall blanketed southeast Missouri during the night of the 24th into the early morning hours of the 25th. Heavy snowfall occurred in most areas except the Kentucky border counties of Mississippi and New Madrid. The heaviest snowfall was in the Ozark foothills north and northwest of Poplar Bluff, over 6 inches in some areas. Carter and Bollinger Counties both reported 7 to 9 inches of snow, which was wet and heavy enough to bring down a lot of tree limbs. Power outages were widespread, and several roads were blocked. Snowfall amounts of 4 to 6 inches were common elsewhere to the north and west of Cape Girardeau, including Perryville, Greenville, Poplar Bluff, and Doniphan. Three to four inches fell from the Dexter/Bloomfield area to Benton in Scott County. Snowfall rates were quite heavy for a few hours, averaging an inch per hour. Only an inch or so fell in Mississippi and New Madrid Counties. Roads were snow-covered and slippery during the heavy snow, with numerous vehicles sliding off the roads. Temperatures rose above freezing soon after the snow ended, so treated main roads improved rather quickly later in the morning. Due to the heavy wet nature of the snow combining with wind gusts of 15 to 20 mph, significant power outages occurred across the Ozark foothills of southeast Missouri. There were over 75,000 customers without power across south central and southeast Missouri at its peak on the morning of January 25th. Numerous downed trees also occurred in these areas.",
