Winter storm watch is North of Newton (McPherson/GreatBend/Salina/Emporia areas)

The latest model runs show the storm rolling through Monday as a non-event for SC Kansas and the Wichita area. It looking to be a rain event at the moment.

They shifted the reach of the snow further south, with the brunt still in western and northern Kansas with Nebraska in the bull's eye.

Here is the info graphic for the next storm, more to come.

Had about 4" south of town. No need to measure, just kinda Donnie Baker'd it

Did I hear they named all the city plow trucks? (One is Clearapatha?)

Rock was all but clear pretty early. Getting around seemed pretty easy except on the side residential streets where there just isn't much that is ever going to be done.

Pretty harmless for the most part, although over night could bring an element of danger if temps drop much below the expected 29. But a week from today and that 29 will seem balmy with the temp not forecasted to be above 20 for at least 3 days, starting Thursday.

They were bad during the morning commute because they were not running the snow plows. Once they ran the snow plows, the main roads are cleaning up nicely (just wet). Side streets, depending on the traffic, are starting to clear up also.

I was amazed at the lack of effort put forth this morning to even attempt to clear roads for the morning commute. It's like the plows are being run by the WSU basketball program. They only work when there's no resistance.

Anyone been out and about today? How are the roads?

Main roads no problem. Slushy.

Obviously, they are. I am more pessimistic. But I thought the Shox would win tonight, so my magic 8 ball is evidently broken so I probably will be wrong about the snow.

I measured 3" of snow at my place.

Now we see how Monday progresses. It should carry more of energy, but the Snow maybe more NW and N of Wichita.

[SB Shock]

Okay. I thought by posting the media accumulation predictions you were now expecting accumulation.

NWS has issued a Winter Weather Advisory so you shouldn't be surprised too much. All the media headlines I have seen are focused on tonight/tomorrow morning snow event from what I have seen.

Nobody is hyping this storm because there is high bust potential for the Wichita area. Temperature does not look to be dropping below 32. So it looks to be wet, slushy snow where in SC Kansas may range mostly at the 1-2 inches on average, with some areas getting nothing, while others might get as much as 4-6 inches.

Now the Monday/Tuesday storm looks to have more potential, but the cold air doesn't seem to be in place for that storm either.

Just the term "high bust potential" reminds me of my high school dances and dancing with taller girls.

I am not saying that at all. At work, we have been discussing it all day that they are projecting accumulation when the surface temperature it is supposed to be 32 or higher and the ground is relatively warm - doesn't seem like a recipe for accumulation.

Wait so now we are saying there WILL be accumulation tonight for sure-ish?
