Clear and COLD!

Good early morning to everyone! No school today for most of the metro! While it looks beautiful outside, it is bitterly cold out there. It is down to 11° here, and wind chills are in the single digits close to zero. Most everyone got a decent snowfall overnight, except of course areas off to the southeast got next to nothing, again! In Lenexa I have right at 4" of snow, with most of the west and north parts of the metro checking in with 3-4" of snow. It is a little more than I was expecting, mainly because of the larger area of snow that moved across late last night. This afternoon, even with 100% sunshine, temperatures are not going to warm up much at all. Lower twenties if you are lucky. If you have snow on the ground, temperatures will have a hard time getting out of the upper teens.

Tomorrow, we will warm up a little, if you can call it that, into the middle and upper twenties, before another blast of arctic air rolls in tomorrow evening. With the cold air, there is another chance of some light snow or snow showers. Then just extreme cold! Lows could get close to zero Saturday and Sunday mornings. After that, attention turns to a storm that will be affecting us next Monday. This storm could bring another chance for snow, or possibly (hope not) freezing rain.

I will post a snow total map later today, along with some cool satellite shots.
