Snow has been scarce (to say the least) this winter. We've had just a handful of winter systems track through the area, but nearly all of them (except for one around the first of the year) have not had much moisture with them. Despite the several hours of light snow on Wednesday, western Kansas barely had more than a trace. Even though there hasn't been much snow, it doesn't mean it couldn't turn that way soon. A couple of examples to share:
For instance, look at Goodland:
An an example for Wichita:
If you've lived in Kansas for a long time, you know some of the worst winter storms can come in February and especially March. Right around the time most of us are gearing up for spring, we can get dumped on with a potent low pressure coming in from the southwest. I still think this winter pattern has potential to drop some heavy snow, and it may all come in one good storm.
