The hwy dept does a pretty good job keeping 65 open. I'm sure a call to the mo hwy patrol would give you a pretty good answer. Although, it's in their best interest to advise everyone to stay home. The bigger question would be the side roads, not knowing what is happening weather wise down there.
Consider that the ground wasn't froze prior to the snow and that as soon as the wind stops blowing strong the temps are going to go up, I thin the snow melts wherever it is.
When the Sun comes up it will only speed up the process (as it does here in The Ozarks)
I see a Christmas with White only in the Northern Shadows of the Northern counties.
But watch those turn Hollers down there....I bet they stay frosty a good while.
