Im liking it. Shows light snow on the radar in Parkville but it is still snowing hard.

Jeremy>>>>>>> It is really nice having you guys on the air in the morning on the weekends. You and Amy and Mike do a good job. Thanks for the hardwork and dedication to the blog I know it takes time away from your family and we really do appreciate your hard work. Great job on the forecast!!!!!! Will send in snow total later today.

It just started snowing here in Sedalia around 9am. It's coming down at light to moderate rates and is just starting to stick to the grass. I don't know how much rain we have got over the past two days because my wife took the weather station to her classroom so she could teach a weather unit to her 5th graders. Hopefully I will be getting my weather station back soon. On my way to Columbia soon to watch the K-State women play MU hopefully the roads will hold up.    Steve

Steve,

Thanks for sharing your report!

Jeremy

Dang Jeremy in my part of the world it is getting warmer.  We've just returned to the 34 degree mark.  On the other hand the ice on my anemometer has melted so I am reading wind speeds and direction again.

****************

Take it easy shoveling...very heavy wet snow!

Jeremy

About 2.5 inches here by Lake Waukomis... I expect to see a few snowmen around here later today.  Perfect kinda snow for it!

3 inches at 113th and cooking ham ave

2.6 inches in Parkville. Snow doesnt look like its going anywhere. =]

**************

Another decent band to push through.  The higher intensities aren't as numerous on the radar though.

Jeremy

We have quite a bit of snow on the ground here by Polo.  Hard to say how much as it's blowing a lot, but I'm guessing 2.5 to 3 inches.  Still coming down at a pretty good clip.

Dead on from Friday just expanded north and south by 15 miles on the north and south and to the west. . . you got it righ 2 days before it occured.  Still snowing. . . not going to church today need to have my snow scopped. . . oh well HOPE GOD  will forgive me . . . this will get us . . well we had 40.8 before this event.  Depending what happens Thursday <<<<<<lets take a run a 60>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

****************

Thanks for the update.  I think 'seeing' this storm once before helped us.

Jeremy

The power briefly flickered at my house a few minutes ago, large chunks of snow falling from trees you can hear them hitting the roof, very interesting event.

This is the big one everyone i think we will get some where around 6 to 8 inch of snow

3.5 to 4 inches here in south Leavenworth.  Winds have picked up from the North north west. Blowing and bending trees loaded with wet snow. Warmed up to 32 degrees. (no blowing snow. all wet)

*************

Great to hear.  Send us a final total later.  I'm heading home for a few hours...or will try:)

Jeremy

snowing hard here but....its real hard to tell how much we have due to its so wet out there and the snow is compacting and looking like slush, from what i can tell its about 2in and 34 degrees.

Absolutely gorgeous here in Raytown!  The snow is beautiful!  Probably have 2.5, working on 3 here.   I love it!  

My husband just said we have more like 3.5 or 4 inches here.  Since he's actually gone out there today (as opposed to me who has no intention of leaving the house), he's probably closer than I am:).  Birds are attacking the feeders -- the cardinals look so cool against the snow.

The storm on the visible sat. loop is awesome you can just see that monster spin near St. Louis!!!

don't have a ruler kids took to school lol but i can say by just looking at the yard that this is the most We've received in lenexa this winter

i wonder how much kci will end up with

Snow has lightened up here some, light to moderate at times, don't think we'll have any problems getting the 2+ here in West Olathe, currently have 2 inches.
We also had 1 inch of rain overnight.

Pam

FYI: I was driving around on College Blvd in OP and the roads are covered in a lot of spots, but drivable.  So it's probably similar conditions around the area.  However, if you have a rear wheel drive car or truck, with little weight in the back, you might have some problems getting around.  Looks awesome out there!

Sidebar: Wish you would include Leavenworth on your regular weather maps Gary.
We are a big and growing part of the metro.

With a population of 36,000 and the oldest (first) city in Kansas, founded in 1854, we make up a big part of your viewing audience.

Just an idea.

5 inches just measured here in Cameron (north side of town, in DeKalb county.)

Just went past 3" in Roeland Park...still coming down at a pretty good clip.

About 1 1/2 - 2 inches here in Mission (I-35 and 635). Big, wet flakes and coming down at a moderate level. I think we are right on the 4 inch+ line so will be interesting to see how the next few hours develop.  Thanks Jeremy!

Everything that started sticking on the grass and vehicles here in Sedalia has now melted. It is still snowing lightly. I think any accumulations even a light dusting may be questionable now. However I'm not disappointed.. I would rather have rain..I am ready for spring.  Steve

We got 1.02 inches of rain in Clinton, Mo and it there are light snow showers so far.  When is are next chance of snow?  If we get anything I will be sure to let you know.  

WOW! I just went outside and mesured 4 inches three times in a row here in Parkville! It was just 2.6 inches at about 9:45 A.M. and I measured in the same spot! 4 inches in Parkville with a lot more to come it looks like. Snow still coming down moderatley.

At my house near 48th and N Brighton I've got maybe 1/4 " of slush and cars are 80% wet with a little snow on top of cars and sidewalk is mostly wet slush. Will I get my snow? My dad in KCK says he has 3" already. :(

Temperature in south Leavenworth has warmed up to a balmy 34 degrees. Snow seems to have become mixed with something like sleet. Stopped accumulating as the new "stuff" is compacting where I last measured 3.5 inches.  Water is running down the curb - so it must be pretty warm. Where the plows have been, the roads are staying clear now. Just slushy stuff.


Just finished shoveling. Be careful and take your time. It is a heavy wet snow. Don't want to loose any bloggers to heart attacks

Just covering the grass here in H'ville..

Shovelers Wanted. Long Hours. Young Whipper Snappers Welcome!

:-)

119th. and Ridgeview in Olathe 33 degrees with light to moderate snow. I measured about 1.5" so far. Jeremy what time do you think this will be out of the Olathe area?

Here you go Brent

SE Jackson County (Hwy 150 & 7)

1.11" of rain... and a very, very wet 3/4" of snow/slush on the ground.

It's been snowing very hard here all morning, but warming temperatures and weight of snow is making it very hard to accumulate.  It's currently 33.7 degrees here.... up from 32.1 at 9 AM.

Leawood reporting wet snow that is struggling to accumulate.  Grass is still showing, so it is about an inch.   Rain last night measured .87 inch before the flakes started before 6 am.

Queen Beatrix Airport, Aruba 88 degrees and sunny.
Kahului, Maui high near 81
Honolulu, oahu high near 80

at 1030 hrs 4.4 inches.  At 0930 it was 3.75. . . it will be hard to get to 5 because it is compacting and the temp is steady. . . wind is knocking the the snow off the trees . . . guess it will blow around later as the temp falls. . . the radar has blue and lt blue echoes 100 miles west from Omaha and Topeka so over the next 2-3 hts as it dies as it passes we could get another inch.  Water vapor images are still impressive. . .  

Here in Lee's Summit we have about 1.6 inches of snow and waiting for the second band.

Not much more than about an inch in Blue Springs. Just got back from KCI which had 3 or 4.

Good midmorning Weather Team!!!

Currently we are sitting at 34 degrees with a few flurries. We are about at the end here in SW Lawrence and picked up a beautiful 2 inches this morning-what a gorgeous snow-this is a post card snow here in SW Lawrence!!! We may not have received the big 6 plus inches this time, but there have been several winters in my life time that I would have given anything for a snow like this so no complaints here!!!

So many thoughts about the past 24 hours-what an interesting storm!!! I now have to decide if I need to cancel our school senate's faculty appreciation dinner which I am in charge of so here comes the phone calls LOL!!!

Have a great day everybody!!

Bill in Lawrence

3.5 -4.0 inches in Baldwin City.

It's 11:07 and closing in on 3 inches of very wet snow.  The roads are pretty slick around Kearney.  Wind is coming straight out of the north.  It isn't to bad outside if you can stay out of the wind.

NW lawrence has 4.4" as of 11:00 AM.  Rainfall total through 7:00AM was 1.34".

When the wind picks up later to 30 mph gusts will the wet snow on the power lines cause problems?

Nearly 4 inches here by Lake Waukomis... started snowing heavily again about 15 minutes ago while I was out shoveling... sidewalk and stairs are already covered up again!!

Oops!!! Double post!!! I put the exact same thing in the other Blog-sorry about that!! Pretty carzy here this morning trying to get into contact with everyone about the event at school tonight-sorry about that!!!

Have a great day!!!

Bill in Lawrence

I just watched the snowplow having a bit of trouble getting up the hill trying to plow this wet heavy snow!

The overcast has lifted here in south Leavenworth and the snow is just flurries. Still cloudy, but not the low hanging clouds we had with the snow. No new accumulation and it appears to be melting faster than it could accumulate.

Appears I am done shoveling as nothing new has "stuck" to the concrete since my earlier post.

Sunday nap time. Later!

It has stopped snowing here in Hiawatha and the wind is blowing at a good pace.  Our total is 3".  I'm glad we missed the brunt of it this time.  I'm ready for spring!!

Sandy,
SO AM I!!!!!!!!!!!!!

updated forecast from NOAA for 64117 >>This Afternoon: Periods of snow with areas of blowing snow, mainly before 1pm. High near 33. Breezy, with a northwest wind between 24 and 28 mph, with gusts as high as 41 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible ...I don't see this happening since I'm still at 1/2" slush and wet cars and sidewalks. And it's got 1 hour and 20 minutes to do all of this? Jeremy, what's your thoughts for 64117 kc north.

------------------

We can't have blowing snow with temperatures above freezing!  The snow is stuck to the ground and melting.

Gary

So, I can still see grass in Blue Springs. I shouldn't be suprised. Boy, it's so much fun watching snow melt almost a fast as it's coming down. If it would have been 30 or 31 instead of 33 or 34 I would be removing probably 3 inches off of about 25 driveways and sticking some serious cash into my business pockets. Thanks to the temperature that's $$$$$ gone by once again. These missed storms have cost me thousands and thousands of dollars!!

----------------------------

Isn't it amazing, the money you have lost, compared to what has happened just a 30 minute drive to your west.

Maybe you will make it up as there are more chances ahead.

Gary

Looking outside at my house in Kingsville, still have a light snow falling, however not sure how much accumulated since over half of it is gone already and seeing brown. If I had to guess, maybe a fluffy half inch to inch at the peak of the storm. ************* Thanks for checking in! Jeremy

If you move to Buffalo N.Y. you'll be smoking Cigars and enjoying Choice Cut Prime Rib every night in that business during the winter months. The competition may be heavy though.

well confirming what BGRITTY said we had 3.5 inches of snow here on the west side of leavenworth I believe we probably would have had more than that if the temperatures were somewhat colder,oh well it was beautiful to watch this morning and now the roads are being treated so all and all it was nice to watch them big snow flakes this morning I also checked westar energy and they have 155 houses without power in leavenworth county we had a brief period of freezing rain this morning a few loose branches from the last ice storm in December must have fallen,everyone have a good day enjoy the snow or lack there of in some areas. *************** Thanks for the update. Keep the totals coming. If everyone sends them in between 2-3pm that would be great! Jeremy

We need a break.

We're saturated.

DREXEL - 1.5 in.
The very wet snow is coming to an end here in Drexel. With the temps hovering above freezing, it's snowing just the way I like it....beautiful as it falls, melting when it lands. I'm guessing we had about 1.5 inch accumulation but if the temp had been lower I'll bet we would have had 3" plus. Not certain as to rain total, looks like I may need to replace my electronic guage. I sure don't think we got the heavy 2-3 inches the Team was forecasting. ************** 1.5" is only .5" away from 2". Tough crowd. Jeremy

snow has almost come to an end in Parkville. Jeremy and Gary, 4.4 inches here in Parkville if you want to put that on the news. *************** Thanks for the report! We'll post that for you. Jeremy

MrSteve you are right it is a pain paying for someone to shovlel it. . . I still like it . . for me this winter i have had company from FLORDIA you liked shovleing it and did it for free......other times I have paid for it......I still have snow around from the 10 icher ten days ago wich will make scooping harder because they got to pile it on the pile. . .

Need to clean it off today it will be cold tonite mid 20s Monday; then with snow pack even for you in KC colder Tuesday, Wed and Th before the next events come ni on thursday. . . looking interesting. . . . ************** Did you have a final total yet? Jeremy

The snow is starting to taper off here in belton, MO. The total is 2.5" in the grassy area's and about 2" on paved roads... But, the bad thing is it's starting to slowly melt! When is it going to get below 32 degree? Thanks and I appreciate all the hard work!!! :) ************ Below 32 tonight and only in the 20s Tuesday. Jeremy

Hi all, I have about half the driveway cleared, boy, that's rough, heavy work.  

Jeremy, is the sun going to come out later?  If it is, I'm going to let the rest of it melt off and blow dry.   ************ Maybe some sun, but more clouds than sun today. Take a break:) Jeremy

Mike4252 We did here in Midtown.

If it wasn't melting as fast as it's falling we'd have about 7 or 8 inches by now instead of 3".

It has been snowing here north of Basehor since a little before 7am off and on.  Much of the snow has melted on the driveway in in areas where there is standing water from all the rain we had last night and this morning.  Big mushy mess!  It has been between 33 and 34 degrees all morning also.  Thanks for all your updates this morning!  Good work. ************* Thanks for the update. Most areas aren't lacking moisture this winter! Jeremy

ok Just so that everyone knows Harrisonville had about half an inch of snow on the ground, and that is being optimistic.....
since it was 33 most of the time what fell melted too fast to accumulate.

I would say if it would have all stuck we would have gotten about an inch...but I'm putting it down as .40 inches of snow today.

overall not bad with the forecast Gary.

Brent ************* I'll trade you the 2.5" at my house Brent...I'll take the heavy dusting! Jeremy

I'm going to wait a bit. My shoveling is a path the width of the shovel from the front door to the car. And across the sidewalk out front.

I've gotten over the desire to have the best shoveling job on the block quite a while ago.

If the temps were not above freezing I would guess that I would have close to 3 inches, its been melting without the heavier bands.....I am guessing we have a solid 1.5 to 2 inches of snow in the grass but its melting as well.... too bad it couldn't have fallen into the upper 20's today

I live on the North Side of Blue Springs

It looks live  1 to 2 inches here in south Raytown.  That's just a guessimate.  I haven't been out to measure.  I know it is a heavy wet snow.

Kristi in south Raytown

the snow is gone here....100% gone....melted....

sniff*

lol

1.38” of rain (in my new Tinite Rain Gauge!) and about 3” of very wet snow at Rancho De Baker (2 miles south of Reno).

While we are having snow with this system this same system is producing tornadoes in Alabama hope everything is ok down there.

It seems like it is melting here.

I measured a near even 4" here at my house. I think it is probably due to a very heavy band that came through. The snow is over here. Gary, did you get my pictures? If you did, will you show them to everyone else in a new blog later this evening.

There was about 4 1/2 inches in central Lawrence about 3 hours ago, already half of that has melted into an amazing slushy mess.

official snow total at my house as of 1:00 pm is.........1/4" to 1/2"" slush and no snow on driveway to shovel it's just wet at 48th & N Brighton ave KC North

5.2 inches of snow just south of St. Joseph.  That was right after the heaviest ended betwee 11:00 and noon.  That brings the season total to 46 even at my place.  Can we get to 5 feet in one season?

3 inches of snow and 1.16 inches of rain at 151st and Mur-Len in Olathe.

measured 4.5". 36 degrees now. Melting nice where it was shoveled. What a heavy snow!!

MY  measurement at 12:00 before compacton started is at 4 spots within th city 5.5 inches.      For the season 46.3 inches.  wind is really blowing hard temp has not dropped yet. . . but be careful on the snow/slush covered streets.  Before this storm STJ  had used about 8000 ton of salt and had 2500 ton in the barn after they plow and make a pass over the streets because of the forcast cold week we will have 1500 ton or so left.  We have never used 10,000 ton of salt but this year we will we will and are thinking of trying to get another 3000 ton.    

In Riverside there is probably 2 inches on the ground if you measured it with a ruler, but I would be willing to be 6 inches fell.  That stuff is like a sack of bricks trying to shovel your driveway.

3 inches in western KCK

stjoelawyer,
I am amazed at all the snow St. Joe has had!

Kristi

Lee's Summit at 291 and 50 highway, we had maybe 1" at one point and all the sidewalks and roads have already melted.  We still may have maybe 1/4" on the grass.

OK...thanks!

Where is your house?

Jeremy

2 inches of snow is what I ended up with in Persimmon Hill (Olathe), sun's trying to come out.

Pam

Kristi reminds me of 77-78, 78-79 and 80-81 been a while since we have had this many snows and THE ICE it is killing the streets.  the freeze thaw cycle is murder.  

1" on the dot here at N. Oak & Barry Rd area -- very slushy

16.5" for the season up here around N. Oak & Barry Rd in the northland.

I have no idea how much snow down here near Ward Pkwy Mall.  We do have a couple inches of slush.  Nasty. Not Fun. And definately Not Snow.  Although it did snow, it just didn't stay in snow form.

Snow ended around noon today in Cameron.  Measurements between 5.5 and 6.25 in four different spots.

I live near Price Chopper. I don't know why, but every where I measured at 11:45 was around 4 inches. Did gary get my pictures? I'm hoping all the snow is gone by tonight so I will have a reason to run the snow machine again tomorrow. Do you think it will be below freezing all day tommorow, because your temp. forecast was way off for today. :)

****************

I guess I was focused on getting the snow forecast right which we did in 95% of the area.

There are lots of Price Choppers, which town?

Jeremy

Sun is peaking in and out of the clouds here in La Cygne. All the snow (had about a 1/2 inch) has melted and I have huge puddles of water everywhere. Sump pump is running every 5 minutres. Wind is very strong and gusty.

2.5 inches at Old 56 Highway Exit
we also got around an inch of rain

IT IS MELTING, belton,MO is now down to 1" or less in grassy areas and is really melting on paved areas.

*************

Any estimate from late morning before the melting was really underway?

Jeremy

I will have to go with stjoelawyer total this time around since I am not at home and able to measure. I would have estimated 4-5 inches. I went out and shoveled the driveway where I am staying, talk about heavy snow. I think if it was so wet and compacted the total would have been higher. There was also a thin layer of ice/slush under the snow. I would guess thats from the rain/sleet we had around 5 today before it started snowing. I'm ready for spring now, let the snow go somewhere else. You know its bad when a child makes the comment when waking up, "Not again".

Stjoelawyer,
I can imagine all the potholes in St Joe!  Yikes!  I hope that no one loses one to a pothole.

Kristi

We got 3 to 3.5 inches of snow here in  north Raytown.... also picked up 1.26" rain!!!
Wish the cold air would have been here quicker and deeper, that would have been a storm.

*******************

Thanks for the report!
