How much snow fell earlier this week around Kansas?

The National Weather Service has created a snowfall accumulation map to answer that question. The heaviest snowfall didn’t miss Wichita by all that much.

That heavier snowfall up north helps explain why the low temperatures dropped below 0 last night between Hays and Salina.

With freezing drizzle in the forecast….

….I am wondering: Should freezing drizzle be called “frizzle?”

Forecasts this morning warned of freezing fog. It’s probably good we haven’t dubbed it “frog,” because that would almost certainly confuse folks who jump to a different conclusion than the forecasters intended.

The freezing drizzle is expected to fall overnight, so commuters should be particularly wary of bridges and elevated roadways.
