When you say ice storm, do you mean freezing rain? It doesn't have to be very cold for freezing rain. I think the temp needs to be just below freezing. So the answer is, Yes, Missouri gets ice storms.

Freezing rain and ice storms are two total different events.
We get a fair share of freezing rain which slickens the roads and causes minor problems.
An ice storm is a major event in which the ice comes down so fast and thick that it coats trees, power lines, TV antennas, and anything else. Then these things begin to break - broken power lines equal power outages, broken tree braches equal broken roofs, smashed garages, cars, etc.... |

Big difference between freezing rain and an ice storm.

The ice storm that hit SE MO near Dexter was the worst I've ever seen. I drove on Hwy 60 from Sikeston to Dexter, and almost every power pole was snapped off about 3 feet from the ground and the trees all have yet to recover--my g-mother was out of power for a month.
