Will this thing impact Terre Haute on Wednesday?

Will this thing impact Terre Haute on Wednesday?

Yes it will, Terre Haute will probably receive close to 6-8 inches of snow from this system, possible more.

The timing for them will be Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. If WSU leaves early enough they should have no problem flying into Terre Haute however depending on how much snow TH will get it could impact whether or not the team gets delayed coming back from TH. (This is assuming they fly directily into TH, they might not).

Winter Storm warning up for the SC Kansas. I love what the HPC has done with their snow products maps. 50% Percentile 72-hour accumulative snow fall map

Now lets looks at the 72-hour 95% Map - Kids would love this:

of course the probability of Wichita seeing >12 inches is only 10%, but there is 50-50 chance of seeing >8 inches.

Good news for wheat farmers. That last cold snap might've damaged some of the states wheat since their was no snow cover but this storm will bring needed moisture.

The high tomorrow is supposed to be only in the single digits, which according to KWCH has not happened for 22 years.

What really irks me is to have a represenative of the city get interview and say they are doing the bare minimum to clean the streets because they don't have enough salt - this is your first fricking winter storm of the year - are you guys this clueless --- and the answer is of course. You take our tax money to provide services and then when the time comes your incompetent - use the money for some boondogle to the caribean to improve farming relations? Another trip to china to only be ignored?

Not first storm of the winter. We had like 3 inches a few days before Christmas but not really enough to use up alot of salt supply.

Isn't one of the like 16 salt mines in the entire country not that far from here? And isn't salt like $1.00/cubic planet and somebody has to know a guy who can get us sand at a price.....

How does this happen?

I cant speak for Wichita, but I dont think Omaha uses salt anymore. They call it salt, but its really calciumdichloridepotassiumglycol.

I know a sand guy.

And a sandbagger that the doc told me about.

The only salt cities seem use these days is in pre-treatment mixes. Which doesn't do to much with large amounts of snow.
