  1. For sure...they probably wouldn't mind an early taste of summer themselves right about now...lol
  2. A bug? How disappointing...I was looking forward to an early taste of summer. [sigh]
  3. Not trying to pick on Hastings, but check out their weather story graphic from this afternoon and that big warm up for Tuesday...
  4. Noticed our first red-winged blackbird here today as well and same on the flowers! I'm pretty much done with winter and hope it stays away, except we do have that cold shot coming for mid-week. Severe weather season up next.
  5. Today's Weather Fun Fact! My profile says I joined the forum 11/12/2014. Topeka average annual snowfall for the 10 winters before joining: 21.6" Topeka average annual snowfall for the 10 winters after joining: 12.8" (*includes this winter so far) I lost roughly 40% (8.8") of annual average snowfall by joining the forum.
  6. The temp anomaly for December here was +7.0(F) and so far this month sits at -7.7. I expect that will moderate some by the end of the month but an impressive flip nonetheless.
  7. NWS ICT has put the Salina area and points nearby in a WWA for up to three inches. I have picked up 1/2" in the past three hours and could see making it up to an inch easily. Radar has shown heavier returns generally south of I-70 so higher totals there make sense.
  8. 1.6(F) in MBY with a gentle snow falling. As others have noted, it feels like I have time-traveled back to the winters of the late 70s and early 80s. Is it January 1979 or 2024? It seems most everyone in the sub has gotten in on the action and how often does that happen? Enjoy!
  9. I remember laughing at this map when it was first posted. Shows how little I know...lol
  10. Pockets of brief moderate to heavy snow have even rotated down to me in northeast KS. Makes a nice snowy scene with a fresh dusting to an inch on top of our previous snow.
  11. I gotta admit...I laughed way harder and longer than I should have when I read this. I had just posted mine in the complaint thread.
  12. Back to the usual in my neck of the woods...
  13. Yeah, I've pretty much written this next one off. The Topeka/I-70 snow dome is taking control again.
  14. Looks like I finished with 5-6". Not too bad after getting off to a slow start.
  15. Interesting...civil emergency messages...one in the OK panhandle and one in SW KS.

  16. Up to now this has been pretty much of a dud here. It started similar to you where the rain changed to snow and quickly accumulated about an inch even on the roads with a temp of 37. Since then the temp has never been below 35 and only mostly light snow off and on. Looking at radar makes me think you should do pretty good. Better than here I would bet. Either way enjoy!
  17. The latest from here...my county has now been added to the WSW calling for 5-8 inches. I probably have picked up an inch so far but there has been melting with temps above freezing. My current temp is 35.1. So far I have avoided the dry slot but generally only light to moderate snow has been falling recently.
  18. Yeah, I think Wichita added some counties so I think maybe an upgrade could be coming. That dry slot is bothersome but I guess Wichita didn't think it'll be a problem so maybe things are a go!
  19. The rain has changed to mostly snow at my house now and the temp is slowly falling and now 36.9. Hopefully it stays snow from now on and we get the party started but who knows...
  20. Temp has been holding at 37.6 at my house this morning with rain at times. Radar suggests a transition to snow could be occurring soon but still rain here. Just hope the dynamic cooling kicks in and keeping an eye on the dry slot for now. Looks like lots of folks on the sub are going to cash in on this one, so good luck to everyone!
  21. That's a pretty conservative forecast it seems, especially up north. The 18z ICON did come back south enough to give me 7.1" (12z 2.3") so maybe that's the start of the trend back south we've been looking for...lol! And maybe we'll come out better with the late week system if this one flops...lol.
