Ryan,

It may happen.

Gary

Rain and 35 degrees at 7:45 p.m. in Cleveland, MO

Thank you so much for the continuous updates. It is so nice to have weather forecasters that care so much about the weather that they share it with their viewers on a constant basis. I live in Eudora and hope that the heavy snow makes it here. It is just starting to sleet here mixing with some snow flakes. Once again thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication. For snow lovers like myself it is fun to follow.

Gary it is sleeting in Topeka right now. I am hearing from some sources the heavy snow warning may be extended south and westward. So I take it the low and storm is forming right now and it is south of where it was supposed to be. This reminds me of a storm back in February 1982 in Wichita where all of a sudden they posted a winter storm warning out of no where and we ended up with 9 inches. Keep watching that radar. Michael/Topeka

Will the delay of the rain changing to snow affect the final snow totals or will it just snow longer here in Warrensburg? I want snow!! :)

snow starting to mix in at 68th and north oak

gary,
is the severe weather in OK a sign of a strengthening storm? thanks ryan

Gary Jeff it is snowing at in the northland I am right aroun 169 and barry road Gary this looks good totals around kci????and by the way it is prety windy also

Gary,
What would be a good time to drive the roads in the Cleveland MO area to determine if we should have school?

It's snowing at 152HWY and N. Indiana in the northland! Looks like it is coming down at a pretty good rate too. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

I hear sleet bouncing off windows in OP!

How does the morning commute to Topeka look from Baldwin City? About 5 minutes ago (8:00pm) it was 35 degrees in Baldwin City. Please keep us updated. Much appreciated.

Ryan

Do you have any idea what time you expect the snow to stop tomorrow?

Gary,
We have sleet falling with rain in south Blue Springs! Sleet is sticking on walk.

wow so the data doesnt stay the same this close so some people in the area will wind up with 8 inches and others with 3 so anywere from kc north and east could get hammered still

Gary,
Since the new NAM model suggests 4-8", do you think that KC Metro will be included in the heavy snow warning?

ryan

There is very heavy sleet, rain and big snowflakes falling in Blue Springs already!!!!

Lucas

Snow still coming down in St. Joseph at 8:15!!! It is about time we get hit from a storm. Gary and Team, thank you for all you do. I watch you over our local weather station. Keep up the great work.

Brian in St. Joseph

Nick--Enjoying the snow????

I'd be happy with just a snowflake in Roeland Park, KS! Rain, rain, very brief sleet, rain...

gary,
me again,
just changed over to huge HUGE snowflakes in independence... that was a quick changeover.... thanks ryan

Gary,

Up north of river near 48th and N Brighton at 8:21 pm we have mostly sleet hitting the window.

Weather team,

SNOWING in Independence at 815.
Andy

Does it look like us down south could get in on the 4 or more inches of snow.

Gary,
Is it just too difficult to guesstimate which areas could receive the heaviest snowfall? I know you've been leaning towards north of KC but with the newest info, what does south KC, west KC, and east KC look like? I'll be watching at 10pm to hear all the latest!

Gary and team,
At 8:20 we are sleeting in Blue Springs, and now snow mixing in. This on the south edge of Blue Springs. Sleet is coming down moderately and wind picking up. This is really intensifying quickly as we go through the evening. You can hear the sleet on the roof, bring on the snow, enough ice.

Big flakes, snow starting to stick on grassy surfaces! 8:15 I-29&64th street

What's your prediction down around the Lee's Summit area??

Gary,
It began mixing with sleet and snow here in the Shoal Creek area of KC around 7 p.m. Hope we get lots of snow.

Gary.

The rain has transitioned to a heavy sleet/sonw mixture in Blue Springs as of 8:08

Blue Springs.

Cant really tell but I think we have sleet in olathe!!! Looks to be a dry slot..Is that what i am seeing??? oh no
Zack
ps(just as i got done typing that it stopped sleeting) lol

Coming down Very Hard in Atchison. The satellite is out and visiblity is very low.

Hello Gary, I know you're swamped with comments but could you PLEASE TRY to answer this one?? If the snow has been increasing that should mean higher snowfall totals right? Right. I can see you guys udateing the Wyandotte area to atleast 4-7 inches of snow. THATS ONLY WHAT I SEE. You may not. I do. I also see the drifting like you said.I do think--know-- it will drift up to a foot or even more in spots. If I was a Bus Driver, I wouldn't want to drive in that. I do see massive school closings. Do you? I too am keeping a watch out for this. I may not have the tools you guys have but, I think that the snow will increase FURTHER YET and even more snowfall amounts and school closings. Has the Upper Low formed? If so,I willhave and update later. PLEASE try to answer this. Its sleeting here in Wyandotte near Piper.

Gary and the team:

Good evening to all of you!!! How are you all holding up-what an incredible fascinating day!!! We are in the process of changing over-have mostly sleet and snow now temp. slowly falling to near 32-getting close!!!!!

One of the great things is that the surface low is still in Texas and the 0z NAM-man-just man-somewhere in this area is going to hit the jack pot!!!!!! As they would say on Yugio: It's Go Time!!!!! Just changed to all snow!!!!

Thanks again for reading and updating-I hope you all can get some rest tonight-I'm sure I'll stay up watching so I may bother you again later!!!

Bill in Lawrence

I will wait until tomorrow before taking my final bow.

LET IT SNOW!

Gary,

All snow in Liberty and it is starting to stick quickly
Zane

Sleeting in SW Olathe.

Wow 6 to 8 inches is quite a bit, We have still not changed over to snow in harrisonville yet but I hope the change comes soon. do you think that down here we may get some thundersnow? and have the totals changed since the 6pm newscast?

Sleet in Lenexa

SO GARY WHAT DO YOU THINK NOW FOR WORLDS OF FUN AREA? I HOPE A LOT OF SNOW I CAN DEAL WITH 6".

Hey Gary!!! So does it look like one of the heavier bands will be around drexel?

Switched over to all snow (2- to 3-star snow) here in Southern Leavenworth county as of 8pm.

Heavy sleet in Lenexa at 8:39pm

Just started sleeting here in Olathe!! I also did that "Cooking Raindrops" experiment that I saw on weather plus U.

Finally a snow event this year for north of the river. Well at least when we got more than anyone. Let it snow! Let it snow!

Gary,
8:47 and it just started snowing at 67th and Ward Parkway. Pretty heavy flakes. Could this mean that the change over is sooner than expected and the heavier snow could be further south?

We are really getting slamed now, and the radar echo's are starting to take on that "snow" texture if you know what I mean.
YES,YES, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nick (VERY HAPPY) in St. Joe.:)

It has pretty much changed to all snow in Blue Springs... Heavy Snow at that. The ground and street is already white. Huge flakes falling... very windy!

It's snowing in Western KCK near the Legends since 8:30. Large wet flakes at this point.

Gary,

I just noticed humungous flakes (8:50pm). It is already starting to accumulate and accumulate fast. I live in Olathe. How long do you think it will keep doing this? Also, how much snow do you think we will get in North Olathe.

Thanks, Jack L.

I went out and measured about 1 1/2" of snow on my sidewalk here in Marceline, Mo

*********
snow in olathe!!!! as of 8:55pm

Weather Team

G-Man: Snowing...big time...in Lenexa!!!

9pm - Snow in Western Shawnee, KS.

Gary, Right now in Berryton the southeastern quadrant of Topeka/Shawnee county it is snowing very heavy. We may have one inch on the ground. Take care, Michael/Berryton/Topeka

Currently at Appleton City the temp is 33.8 and falling well thats what it says on my thermometer. Hopefully we will get alot of snow down here.

Snowing heavily in PV- Has been for about 30 min. Looks like almost 1" already. If it snows at this rate all night.... wouldn't we end up with about 10 in?

Gary,
weather.com has THUNDER SNOW for 64117 from 11pm to 1am if this happens we should get a good snow.

Wow it is has been snowing hard for an hour now just a little north of the river! We have an inch already here! Will we see more than 6 inches? I hope so! :)Is there a chance of thundersnow?
Rachel K.

No snow yet in southern Lee's Summit
