We've had so much warm weather recently that flowers are beginning to pop out of the ground and trees are even showing some signs of life again. While exciting, we realize that there is still a lot of February left yet and if the flowering trees get too far along, a bitter cold snap in early March will be the end of the colorful blossoms.

Several cold fronts will be coming through Kansas in the next 5-7 days, ending our vacation from winter. And while a few of the days between now and early next week look a little chilly, bitter cold is building up and ready to move back into Kansas by Tuesday (Feb. 17) There is even a chance we could see some rain and snow (accumulations possible) when the cold air gets here too. Forecast models bring the temperatures back down into the 20s (for highs) as we move toward the middle of next week.So while the 60s and 70s have been really nice, winter isn't over yet and we are about to get a full dose of it next week.

| Tuesday and Wednesday look much colder regionwide |
Winter is coming down to the home stretch and while some parts of Kansas have had near normal snowfall, Goodland is running well below average. Keep in mind, average snowfall is much higher in northwest Kansas than everywhere else. Wichita averages about 15 inches each winter, Dodge City around 20, and Goodland is actually 35-40 inches. Some of you have been asking how much more snow we will get this winter and I can't imagine it would be very much, but March storms have a history of offering up some surprises. We will see!!

I remember a March blizzard about 12 years or so ago that left us a foot of snow and big drifts.
