Light snow in midtown, not sticking yet.

So far it's all liquid in Louisburg. We had a brief sleet shower last night. Will we get to enjoy the snowflakes this far south today?

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

Yes...you should see a mix or changeover to snow this morning. May mix with or change back to rain this afternoon before going back to snow late.

The RUC does develop a little comma head that allows us to catch the back side. It seems in response to a the vort at the base of the trough just south of Joplin.

Should be fun to watch, not holding my breath for much accum...hope I am wrong.

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

Why do you hope you are wrong? The upper level storm forming south of Kansas City is just that, one that forms as the energy moves in from the northwest and north. These types of situations are tough as it will look like the precipitation is ending, and then new bands keep forming in response to the enhancing lift and developing comma. It will be a very interesting day for sure, as it already is watching Jeremy show the Plaza with big snowflakes. I am STILL WAITING down south for my first snowflakes.

Light flurries here at 68th Terr. and Oak! Looks like it will probably start sticking to the raised surfaces on our deck soon! Dea

It's snowing pretty good in west Lenexa.

re: Snow is falling....November 29, 2008

kcwxguy — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 14:28:26 GMT

I hope I am wrong and this developing storm digs west a bit..that would give a bit more chance I think for the energy to come down and develop the back end closer to KC. The models have had an eastern bias for a while, though..it didn't quite make sense to me, but regardless...I hope it does snow quite a bit.

Just not sure it will... It is pretty to look at already, as it is the second snow I have seen this fall in Lee's Summit, but I guess I am ready for the big snow, not the teaser snow. LOL

Now, as it relates to Brian's picture above...I need that kind of weather station setup! Santa? Are you reading this?

Hi Everyone -

We have pretty active snowfall down here on the northeast side of Ottawa, Kansas - coming down fast but with small to medium-sized flakes. So far, the snow is just sticking to grass, decks, and roofs. Jeremy, our kids are driving back up to Minneapolis today - how far north is this precipitation reaching? Have a great weekend, everybody!

P.S. I just signed up yesterday - this is my very first post (yea!).

csitzman — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 15:37:01 GMT

The kids and I are loving the snow here in Olathe this morning. But it complicates plans for traveling back to Colorado Springs today or tomorrow. Any chance this could blow up into something more than a light dusting here and westward? I know there is a high wind warning out for western Kansas tomorrow during the day, with a chance for some light snow showers, but I do not want to get surprised by a change over from just a few flurries and some high winds to several inches of blowing, drifting snow. Would prefer to wait until morning to leave KC, but if there is the possibilty this could change into something larger, then we might have to change that plan.

Gary and Jeremy:

Good mid morning to the both of you!! Snow continues to fall here in SW Lawrence-been falling now since about 4:30 this morning. It is not really sticking too much but that doesn't really matter-it is snowing!!!!! If I am looking at the Nex-Rad radar correctly-as always a big if!!-the snow is back building somewhat west of Lawrence and another band has formed west of Topeka-it appears these two bands are trying to merge. This is just awesome!!! It doesn't really matter so much to me weather it really accumilates as much as the fact that it is snowing and that we have some energy in thge sub pattern of the NW flow-this I think will indeed bode will for later in the winter. Also, it is just fascinating to watch a storm form right before your eyes-what a great learning experience for the weather hobbyist!! You just gotta love the weather here!!!!

Well, I'm off to light my fire-smoking ribs today-I love doing this in the snow-awesome stuf!!!

Have a great day!!

Bill in Lawrence

Bill,

This is getting tather exciting.....and not just today! WINTER IS ARRIVING EARLY!

Andrew_Stafford — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 16:09:53 GMT

I am 98.9% sure that this is the storm from around October 6th and 7th.

So does anybody know whether Wikipedia is correct and Weather Plus does closes on December 1st?

Crossing my fingers for some snow!! ****************** Andrew, I still think the date is December 31 or January 1. Jeremy

I love peoples different responses to snow. My husband is excited about the possibility of snow. He can't wait for it to snow. My youngest looked out the window and said with a lot of dread and dismay, "it's snowing". I just enjoy watching and reading about peoples responses to snow. Whether or not you like snow, have a great day everyone!

I wouldn't get too excited about any accumulations yet - temperatures are still in the mid to upper 30s right now (36 last time I checked) - and the snow is not sticking at it's maximum intesnity that it has been falling at the past few hours. I fail to see how we will see any accumulation at all - even a dusting has yet to occur on car tops out here in Overland Park.
