ST. LOUIS - An ice storm grounded airline flights and knocked out power to thousands of customers in Missouri on Sunday.
Ice as much as a half-inch thick coated roads and tree limbs in sections of extreme southeast Kansas.
Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt declared a state of emergency and activated the National Guard to aid communities affected by the stormy weather that started Saturday and was expected to continue through midweek.
At Kansas City International Airport, 18 flights had been canceled by midmorning Sunday, and 13 flights were called off at St. Louis Lambert International Airport.
The governor's office said tens of thousands of people were without power in central, southwest and northeast Missouri.
Numerous churches called off services in Kansas.
Kansas officials said there were no immediate reports of significant power outages.
