Snow Plow Reminders

Wentzville residents, please remember to be patient with City snowplows. Snow routes are pre-assigned and plow trucks work as quickly as is safely possible. Did you know, there are many streets in and around Wentzville that are not plowed by the City? These roads are maintained by the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and are not normally cleared by City crews unless otherwise approved under a mutual-aid request or as authorized by the City Administrator. MoDOT-maintained roads include:

• Highways 70 and 40/61
• Highway 70/North Service Road/South Service Road
• Lettered Highways, including Highway A, Highway N and Highway Z
• Continental Drive/Linn Cemetery Hill

Understanding Winter Weather Alerts

As winter settles in, it’s important to be prepared for inclement weather. Understand more about what weather alerts mean by learning the difference between a winter weather watch, advisory and warning. You can get more weather tips from the National Weather Service here.

Watch: Conditions are favorable for a winter storm event, but the occurrence, location and/or timing are still uncertain. Watches are typically issued at least 24 hours in advance of a storm.

Advisory: Conditions pose a significant inconvenience and, if caution is not exercised, could threaten life or property. Advisories are typically issued in conditions that might produce three to five inches of snow within 12 hours.

Warning: Conditions pose a threat to life or property, and travel will become difficult to impossible. Warnings are typically issued under conditions that might produce six inches of snow.
