With whispers of snow flurries in the forecast…

…I thought it would be good to take another look at how much snowfall Wichita and other parts of Kansas receive each winter.

Wichita has averaged 16.7 inches of snow a year between 1971 and 2000, according to the National Weather Service. Salina averages 18.8 inches, Chanute 16.8 inches, Dodge City 20.4 inches and Russell 25.3 inches.

Goodland trumps them all, however, with 41.8 inches of snow a year. Not surprisingly, Goodland’s already dealt with a blizzard this winter.
