I'm in Kansas City, Missouri, and we are currently getting blasted by a snow storm that is supposed to dump 8-12" of snow on top of our 10+" we have already. I know that Hamilton got hit hard with our storm that can through last Thursday. They even closed the shop, per their email. I believe Hamilton is sharing this storm with us as we speak. You might check before making the trip. St. Louis will probably get hit come Thursday or so.
We visited MSQC on the 15th of this month. Jenny was out of the store giving a class somewhere, but her daughter came down to show me a pattern they had come up with. They are so nice there. This summer when we went, Jenny gave us our own tutorial on several patterns. It was great.
