Lake of the Ozarks Daily Digest — Saturday, March 14, 2026
Ty's Take
The fatal accident on Route C in Miller County reminds us that our winding Ozarks roads demand extra caution, especially with snow potentially returning Monday morning – that's a dangerous combination that every Lake area driver needs to take seriously. Meanwhile, it's a slow local news day when most of our headlines are coming from businesses nowhere near Missouri, though I'll give props to our Mizzou Tigers for keeping their March Madness hopes alive heading into Selection Sunday. When the biggest local stories are weather and sports, that's not necessarily a bad thing for a community, but it does mean folks should double-check their travel plans and maybe tune into the basketball game instead of venturing out on icy roads.
