KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Many Missouri districts are calling off classes or starting late because of a winter storm.

The storm dumped 2 to 3 inches in the Kansas City area. The National Weather Service 1 ½ to 2 inches are expected in the St. Louis region.

Among the districts calling off classes Thursday were Kansas City, Missouri, Liberty, Springfield and St. Joseph. The storm was less disruptive to Kansas schools, although several had delayed starts.



Forecasters warned that the snowfall could hamper morning commutes and urged drivers to be cautious.

In Topeka, Kansas, police said drivers involved in accidents should exchange insurance information and wait to go to the Law Enforcement Center until the weather clears. For now, the department is only investigating accidents that are alcohol related, hit-and-run or involve injuries.
