‘Twas a snowy winter indeed

Winter officially bows out today, and few folks are mourning. It was a season packed with plenty of wintry precipitation, and it seemed to come every few days.

According to the National Weather Service, 22.1 inches of snow fell in Wichita this winter. That’s more than 40% above normal. The city averages 16.5 inches of snow a year.

Be forewarned, however: snow in April is not unheard of in Kansas, so the current total should not be carved in stone just yet.
