……as winter takes a swipe at the High Plains. Goodland has 2 inches of snow on the ground, National Weather Service meteorologist Kelly James reports.
That may not seem like a lot, but with strong north winds visibility’s down to a half-mile this morning, she said. Travel is a challenge, so schools in Goodland, Colby, St. Francis and the surrounding area are closed today.
Snowfall totals were held down by the fact that temperatures stayed above freezing longer than anticipated, so “we got a lot more rain than we did snow” in the area, James said.
