Osceola and South Mississippi County socked by Uri
Winter storm Uri hit the area with a vengeance Monday as more than four inches of snow fell in the area., covering roads which had been cleared by city, county and state road crews following the Feb. 11 ice storm. Ahead of the Monday snowfall residents of Keiser, Victoria and Marie were without power for a time Sunday morning creating havoc as residents tried to get to church or had their Valentine’s day plans thrown into chaos.
While there were a number of accidents on the interstate associated with the initial ice storm, police in Osceola reported no major accidents on city streets. The Osceola Fire Department also reported only a few minor issues and no major fires tied to the winter storm. The city and South Mississippi County will now brace for another round of winter weather expected to hit the area Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures are finally expected to climb back above freezing for the first time in more than a week on Saturday. Addison Johnson, of Osceola, is pictured making a snow angel Monday afternoon. She is the daughter of Jeremy and Tracy Randolph, of Osceola.
