Woo-hoo!  Light snow mixing in with the rain at I-29/Barry Rd!

Hey Gary,

It rained, then snowed here lightly tonight. We got a VERY light dusting in Marceline. My truck showed 35 while it was snowing.

I cant wait for the bitter cold, and possible precip chance mixed in. Maybe something will materialize, or a band will set up heavy, and stall.

Alex

I get cold just looking at the temps forecasted for next week!

Gary,
i know it is just fantasy, but the gfs has a storm here on Christmas. how exciting!

32 next Thursday?  That is a weak Arctic air mass

Update:  All snow up here...moderate to heavy at times!  Light accumulations on the grass.

Good Evening Gary,

Light rain out here in Western WYCO tonight. Temps seem to be holding steady at 36 with a North wind around 2 MPH. Looks like we are in for a nice warm up this weekend before a cool down early next week. I must admit, like Brent I was a bit disapointed to not see a big storm system ready to affect the Kansas City area early next week. I thought it was about time KC got a bigger storm based on the LRC. But either way it looks like we might see several rounds of precip through the week, so at least that will be a little bit of entertainment.

  Just Rain Showers here in Downtown

Moderate snowfall mixed with a little sleet here in the Claycomo area.

SNOW in independence!

IT'S SNOWING IN ST. JOE!!!!!!:) I even ate a snowflake!

Nick,

Thanks Nick. Maybe I can catch one when I get home tonight.

Gary

 Gary---  You not expecting any accumulations

The Big Easy can't have all the fun. :)

Snowing here in Rosedale!

It's Snowing in Olathe!!  Isn't it possible that a little dusting could occur on what's left of the old snowpack?

Snowing with flakes the size of leaves in Blue Springs right now! Huge flakes.

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

It is a nice snow.  I will put an update on the blog with my thoughts in one minute.

Gary

I live in Blue Springs and I was able to make a snowball from the accumulation on the car. Not much but not in my wildest dreams would it snow half dollar size flakes enough to accumulate in 15 minutes to make a slushy snowball. It seems like we have been a bullseye so far this season.

cold mist in Tonganoxie.  Was raining hard in Westport when I left 1 1/2 hours ago.
Ready for a big winter snowlapalooza

Interesting from the NWS in Houston : http://www.srh.noaa.gov/productview.php?pil=PNSHGX

"FOR WHAT IT`S WORTH...THE LAST LAND FALLING HURRICANE ON GALVESTON
ISLAND BEFORE HURRICANE IKE WAS HURRICANE JERRY IN 1989. THERE
WAS 1.7 INCHES OF SNOW ON DECEMBER 22 1989. HURRICANE ALICIA MADE
LANDFALL IN 1983 AND THERE WERE SEVERAL DAYS WITH SNOW FLURRIES IN
DECEMBER OF 1983."

Gary--- Thanks for the update.

andrew,
Thanks. that was totally interesting.

When I left work in Mission at 11:30 it was snowing great big monster flakes.  Just about perfect if it had been cold enough to stick. A heavy snowfall without wind is my favorite winter weather.

I see the exact matchup between this weekend's storm system and the Blizzard from late October - but it's not further south - it's actually a bit further north. The northern plains are going to get SLAMMED by this storm.

That Blizzard Watch in the northern Plains and upper Midwest is the most expansive one I've ever seen!
