The upper midwest has just been whacked with a major winter storm that dumped nearly 20 inches of snow in the Twin Cities. The snow was so heavy that it collapsed the Metrodome in Minneapolis on Sunday. The wind was gusting over 50 mph and the local law enforcement closed a number of roads and basically said, stay home. Even the snow plows were getting stuck in the whiteout conditions.
Anything like that in Kansas soon???? No way! Our pattern this week will allow temperatures to recover from the Arctic air that settled in over the weekend. But we do not see any organized areas of rain or snow coming this way soon. In fact, our chance at a White Christmas is going down each and every day, as the computer models do not show any big storms coming through between now and Christmas Day. Our chance of having snow on the ground Christmas morning is very low anyway, and this year as we deal with La Nina, it's even less likely that we will have snow for the holiday.
Some areas have gone over a month now without any measurable precipitation and that is not likely to change soon. I'll let you know when I see something on the horizon.
