And right back to winter the following week, evidently.

They just said on the news we have had 22 days below 0 this winter. 2-5" of snow tomorrow. I'm not even shoveling what fell last night.

It was 40 degrees yesterday and I was able to get the pre-emergent down on schedule this morning. Thank God. Weatherman says mid 60's for most of next week so the worst is behind us. Its been absolute hell.

We are still on this streak where we have not hit freezing since Jan 30. It looks like it will break this week, but not before 2-5" of snow tomorrow. Tuesday for sure looks above freezing.

We've been seriously lucky. That ice storm fell south of us - we were too cold for it. We got maybe 3 inches of snow total last week. You guys are having a hell of a time and now you're going to get a quick warmup to cause flooding? Crazy.

Now they've adjusted Thursday to 61 and stormy. We'll see. Meanwhile we have an ice warning from the NWS for late tonight/tomorrow.

Icing should be pretty limited although it's a good call to go with the advisory for over night. It's going to get above freezing by noon tomorrow probably.

Thursday looks interesting. Definitely going to warm up some but at the cost of maybe the first severe weather of the year.

High's will range from 45 - 60 for the next week in KC. Just about the time we all get excited about a nice springy March, we'll get a cold wave and much snow just to piss us all off.
