St. Louis county police officers Adam Lane and Debrah Bradley respond a jackknifed tractor trailer in the east bound lanes of I-270 near Lilac Ave. in St. Louis, Mo., Thursday, Jan. 20, 2011. A band of bitterly cold weather spread across Missouri Thursday, forcing schools to close, causing hundreds of traffic accidents and leaving more than a foot of snow in some areas.
