jaster220 Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 I'm not much of a play-by-play storm tracker. I like the lead-up hype to a storm potential, and I like to watch or go out in the storm when it is hitting. And I like the follow-up reports, stories, stats, etc. so I won't be frequent poster like some.

Jayhawker85 Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Drove from Topeka to Lawrence and in about 20 mins went from heavy drizzle to sleet to snow and the roads were starting to get covered in snow. It’s going to be real slick as the drizzle has covered everything and is going to flash freeze with the light snow and temp drop coming.
