What happened
The episode as NWS LSX wrote it up.

The snow cancelled many outdoor activities, including the St. Louis Cardinals baseball game. It was the first time since April 17, 1983 that a Cardinals home game was snowed out. Some trees were damaged due to the accumulation of the heavy wet snow.
