COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) – Missouri universities are beginning to call off classes as a fresh round of snow begins to fall.

The University of Missouri-Columbia is canceling all classes, exams and events planned for Tuesday. Only employees who are deemed “situationally critical” are required to be on campus.

MU Health Care’s hospitals and emergency rooms will remain open, as will the MU Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital emergency service.

The University of Missouri-Kansas City canceled evening classes Monday but hadn’t yet announced whether Tuesday’s classes would be canceled.
