Snow has Started

10:35 PM Update- Snow was coming down at good rate as some nice banding was going on over central Butler County. We probably have close to .75 inches of snow on the grassy surfaces. The main band is dropping what I would assume to be some impressive snow fall rates over Kingman, Wichita, and on through El Dorado. Snow Day??? Maybe in El Dorado where they are under the Heaviest band of snow.

Snowfall not really sticking to roads so that will definitely hurt our chances.

Edit 7:25 PM- The heavy band of snow has started to really get going over SC Kansas. Snow rates could be an inch an hour in some spots.

Snow started here at my house near Leon, Kansas at 4:50. It appears that the heavier band of snow which I highlighted in my previous blog might start to be setting up over SC KS. This would increase Snow accumulation across SC KS. 5 inches in that band is easily attainable. The NWS believes there could be 1" per hour rates periodically in the deformation band.

Right now the ground is too warm for snow to accumulate but that should change as the night goes on.

Enjoy the snow and, fingers crossed, a snow day!
