A major winter storm swept through the Plains, February 25th through the 27th, resulting in the second round of heavy snows, that the region had experienced in under a week.  Temperatures near freezing, led to a heavy wet snow, that was slow to accumulate at the onset of the event.  However, as snowfall rates increased overnight, snow rapidly began to accumulate, sticking to trees and powerlines and resulting in numerous power outages across the area.  Unlike the event from 5 days prior, the heaviest snow fell overnight, and not during the morning commute. This allowed road crews open access to the highways during the peak of the event, even though they still struggled to keep up with snowfall rates, as much as 2 inches per hour.  By the time the morning commute rolled around, most roads were snow-covered, but the combination of snow decreasing in intensity, and many more people that chose to sit this one out, the morning commute was not nearly as disastrous as with the February 21 event.
Snowfall totals from around the area, ranged from 15 inches near Sedalia, to only a couple of inches along the Missouri Iowa border.
