Went to Chiefs game, and it was coollldd! And the game was a disappointment

Am not impressed with the southward push of the arctic front.

Still setting up shop in central missouri. The placement of this front will have a huge impact on this weeks weather.

Right now, its anyones guess. From a fan of winter storms, im not impressed as of this moment for the prospects of any major precipitation on the south side of the metro.

Way to early to talk about thursday, but it does have the potential of being just plain old rain on the south side, especially if this front continues to stall nearby.


Color me pessimistic....

:(

Wind starting to pick up again here in Lee's Summit.

Could the really low temperatures along with the really low wind chill temps be enough to cancel school tomorrow.  I believe that for Lee's Summit the wind chill has to be around -10 to -15 or so to call school off...

So is there even a possibility for any sleet to be mixed in with tonite? or do i have to wait for the newscast lol

Went to the Chiefs game and it was FREEZING!!!  What happened to that 62 degree temperature until around 4PM there guys!?!?!  I was dressed more for the warmer air and landed up freezing my hind end off...along with my grandma! LOL.

I forgive you though....

Adam,

You say you are not impressed - yet this has been impressive so far even without any precipitation. The mass of this front is simply too large to ignore and a very slight movement can make a huge difference in what we might experience. So it is wait and see for now - but the event itself was impressive so far, I never recall my thermometer registering a lower temperature on each update for over an hr!

Its so cold, the wind burns! My bird freeks out when I type excalmations.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it doesn't snow a good amount on Tuesday, I will not be happy

 Gary-- How far south of I-70, just wondering, thanks

GOOD.

I was at the Chiefs Game as well.....I told my brother it was already in the 30's in Topeka when we left, so I knew it was going to be cold by kickoff.  I had layer after layer on and my feet and hands still were frozen.  

I am glad I am a Bears fan first, the Chiefs would drive me batty.....

hopefully at the last moment it will track further south like last weeks storm did?.!

Adam, did you guys get cold at the Chiefs game?  I am Stephen's wife, by the way, that is how I know you were there.  =)  
Do you think we are going to get any of this ice?  My parents are in New Orleans and she says that is all they are talking about down there is an ice storm up here.

We were out shopping around the 152 & I-35 (Liberty) area and crews were already out spreading salt in the parking lots.

Good Evening everyone!

Waiting for the temp to stop dropping here before I post the amazing drop that occured here in KCK and the rest of the metro area. I must say that I am a little dissapointed in the models so far this year, and the weather for that matter. I thought that this week we were suppose to be in the so called "active" portion of the LRC, and so far...nothing really to exciting showing up. Yeah, we have some snow chances, but the models as far as Tuesday goes have really backed off giving Kansas City much in the way of significant snowfall. Now of course I know that since it is so cold, it would take much to amount to a lot, but it just seems like maybe this years LRC is not going to produce as much as it did last year in Kansas City. I know winter is still a few days away and all, so we really shouldnt be discounting it as of yet, but December is running short on time, and we may begin to shut the window on snowfall accumulations this winter season. But who knows!

Have a good evening, and hopefully those radar returns will grow some so we can get some snow on the ground tonight...but I wouldnt hold your breath!

Heavysnow, glad to see a fellow Bears fan on here.  unlike Jeremy who is a vikings fan, which by the way isn't losing to Arizona like we need them too.

The front blasted through southern Leavenworth county at around 9:35 and the temp dropped from 60 to 34 in 25 minutes - about a degree per minute.  We're now into the teens.

Now that we're within 11 days of Christmas, I'm curious what your cycling theory holds for that week... temps?  Chances of a white Christmas?

If you don't have to go out, don't. I just made a trip to the store and it was noticeably colder when I came out than it was when I went in.  Hard gusty winds just rip the heat away from you.

I, for one, am very happy with the news of a possibly quiet Tuesday.  I have a holiday party in JoCo Tuesday night, so I'm hoping the precip stays north.  

Are the real strong winds done for now?  It was definitely calmer, so I put out our inflatable Santa and penquin.  Just dont want them blowing away tonight when I can't keep my eye on it.

Up in Lincoln, NE it's 6, with a wind chill of -16.  OUCH!

down to 18f in trenton.. had a pretty good little shower of sleet, freezing rain and snow come through about 430pm

I took our dog for a walk about half an hour ago and itis cooooold out! So cold that we didn't even see any squirrels scurrying about like we usually do. Only the birds are brave enough to be out tonight...and silly humans like me. =)

How far south may the snow be tonight? Here in Drexel, last year the total snowfall was 5 1/2 inches, and that was with alot of storms producing only half an inch, and im afraid of this year being the same. Just think, 2 years combined 11 inches?? That's not even right!!

Gary or Jeremy-

Do you think the school districts would cancel due to wind chill factors? I remember Olathe did that a few years ago and I am trying to plan for my kids if so.

I sure am glad it isn't officially "winter" yet.  I'm just going to sit back and enjoy another beautiful and comfortable "autumn" evening in the teens and single digits.  I bet the San Diego Chargers football team will be just devistated to return to southern California tonight and get back to warmer and less "exciting" weather.  

Sleeting very hard in drexel!!!!

Currently a sleet shower at 119th and Blackbob

Sleet beginning in Lee's Summit.

Sleet in SW Lawrence as well. I'm sure I will have more later LOL!!

Bill in Lawrence

Sleeting in Harrisonville.

It is sleeting pretty good here as well, Strasburg, Cass county.  It is 20 degrees and falling.  At 11:40 this morning it was 62.  That is a drop of 42 degrees in about 6 hours. Just awesome. Our biggest drop was from 11:40 to about 12:20 it went from 62 to 42. It is still pretty windy out too.  Just bitter cold out there.  That wind just cuts right thru ya.

Hey shopqueen, where do you live in harrisonville?...I am also in Harrisonville and its sleeting here as well...iut looks like a little dot on the radar lol...

Brent

I missed the newscast tonight.  Can someone give me a summary of what the weather will do tonight and the thoughts for Tuesday?  Any snow for the Northland?

Light sleet in Sibley

Anything happening in Wyandotte County tonight?? I'm hibernating so could one of you brave souls fill me in?

19 degrees in H'Ville still coming down. My dogs eat their treat then want outside, they did but came right back in with ice on their coat. I was on the front porch when this came thru about 11:45. It went from 62 to 42 in about 15 minutes. Just crazy! I hope the roads are getting taken care of, I don't want to slide down the hill (live on country road) going to work. Please close the office tomorrow boss!!!!

sleeting again here in trenton.. enough to cover up my sidewalk.. i see DMX issued a winter storm warning for parts of southern iowa

South of Fireworks or whatever it's called now. Pyro City or something.

Extremely light sleet in the weatherby lake area. I love winter weather just wish i didn't have to go up a hill to get out. :(

It is really coming down now.  WOW

Just had a sleet shower in Kingsville. I'd like to see this turn over to snow....

We had a brief period of freezing rain at about 5:40pm here west of Smithville, then it changed to sleet and came down pretty good for 20 minutes or so.  No major accumulation.  It's 14 degrees here.

I would rather see snow anytime than ice. Slid in a ditch one time and do not want to do it again. Of course my car was full of groceries. Bring on the snow....

Looks like a big blog heading my way on radar. I'm so glad I have a garage.

We have snowflakes light snow in leavenworth I was putting the car in the garage and I had a little bit of snow on the car.

heavy freezing rain and sleet in Chillicothe. Streets are already a sheet of ice....

We were also at the Chiefs game today. Very cold. We were wrapped in blankets and were still frozen. My son and I were warmed a little by the end of the game since we are Chargers fans! It was also our first time to be at a game. Very exciting! Currently no sleet or any other precipitation coming down here east of Adrian.

Pat

Sleeting in the northland at 108th N and 169!

I have a question, is this bigger precip area moving in from the west snow?

40 degree drop from this morning and still dropping!

Northleeland Im in the Northland but Im near WOF.  nothing here yet.  

Gary--- How long will the precip last

Looks like graupel in North Kansas City with 16.5 degreezzzzzz.

My 76th and N Tullis, the sleet is coming down hard.  I thought it would be too cold for sleet and would be snow.  

OK, we have had snow here in Jefferson County KS for about 20 minutes now.  Not real heavy but the wind is still blowing about 25 mph.  There was a brief 30 minure period of sleet/freezing rain prior to that.

Heavy Blowing Snow! Accumulating on rough surfaces, a dusting on my dormats already!

I have graupel and it is a balmy 12 degrees.  I wonder how cold it does have to get to cancel school.  Mama needs a snow day.  I have lots of studying to do before finals.  Is it possible to call school for coldness?  I personally would not want my child to wait at a bus stop.  
Staci in Tonganoxie

What the heck, this sleet is loud against my house windows.

124th & state line on Kansas side.  Wind is blowin it.  It is raining ice!

heavy graupel/sleet whatever in OP, 83rd & Metcalf

New Blog

I thought my son in law through rock salt down but its little ice pellets So I change my statement from nothing near WOF

13 degrees in Johnson County Executive Airport!!!!!!

New blog

Got sleet here too in La Cygne. Came in just seconds before it started blasting. I will never again have a home with large west, north, and south windows. Pretty to look at, but awful for energy effeciency and the noise when it is windy and sleeting is way too loud!

What's the email address to send pics to?

And I always find it facinating that it can sleet/freezing rain when it is only 17 degrees outside.

  juniorfan32, it is very possilbe. You could drive your kids to school also. You can find out what the requirments are at your school district's website.

Wish I had the snow instead of the sleet. I thought this was suppose to be a snow event now????

Had a quick sleet shower at about 6:30, now nothing in Holt Mo.
I wonder how much of what I see on radar is going to make it here?
When sleet is deep enough,and it is cold enough I still get called out.
Ipushsleet too :)

NEW BLOG

Well just before seven o'clock. . . nothing falling despite the green on the radar.  It is ten degrees dew point zero humidity 50 percent, wind nnw 22 mph cid chill would be -8 or -10  really sucks just got in 30 minutes ago.

As for Tuesday let's wait and see.

However, i tend to agree with some other comments to quote my late grandpa, " every day of snowy or cold weather you don't have after the first of December is one less day of snowy or cold weather you can have."

We my have got the kiss of the NWS with tues forcast "snow heavy at times" as issued at 4:02 pm.

The snow is accumulating when the wind stops, then the wind gust and carys it around and its like ground mist. Creepy and neat!

New blog

Geez, we already have drifts of 3 inches and a half inch on the pavement. (Can't see anything in the grass yet!) :-)

Heavy Wintry Mix: Giant Sleet Pellets and Huge Snowflakes!

You can watch the snow accumulate, must be going, 5" per hour in some bursts.

-6 windchill near Staley High School.

3rd or 4th time the amounts have changed since yesterday, but here it goes

The amounts haven't changed at all in our forecast.

Gary

Wow!! I have never seen anything in my life as far as the weather is concerned what is happening now!! Here in Drexel it is thundering and lightning like crazy with large sleet almost like hail falling very very hard!!

I live in Western Lenexa- 87th and Woodland and it's snowing here- blowing snow!  YIIPPPPEEE

Raining ice in Stilwell - 180th and Nall.

Thunder...lightening....sleet....GEEZ!

Really coming down here in Harrisonville, I did not expect thunder & lighting. You can now see on the pavement. 16.3 and falling.

Started sleeting 7pm ar 63rd in Shawnee Mission. Just now turned over to snow, very small powedery flakes, lots of blowing around, typically enought against my drivers side car door... :)

Looks like this is moving at a pretty decent clip.

H.

About 1" of snow fell in 30 min Around Johnson County executive Airport. Very hard to measure, sticking a ruler thru solid ice.

Latest NAM puts the heavy snow in NORTHERN IOWA.  Hope it changes like it did last week.

So much for the snow.
