Staff Reports

January 29, 2010

Light snow continues to fall in the Kansas City metro area, but the National Weather Service says the snow should move out sometime later today with little left behind.

Forecasters say the light snow will persist through at least Friday morning before moving out of the area by Friday afternoon. Only minor accumulations of up to an inch are possible south of interstate 70.

There is a chance of snow from Monday through Monday night as another storm system will move through the Central Plains and Midwest. Forecasters say that while there is still some uncertainty with the track and intensity of this system at this time, only minor snow accumulations are expected.

Cold temperatures, however, will persist. The NWS says the high both Friday and Saturday is only going to be 22 degrees. The low overnight Friday is expected to be 10.

Point of View

Do you plan on attending the St. Patrick’s festivities Saturday in Tonganoxie?

I like seeing Tongie being festive and all dressed up for the occasion. Along with my family, I will be attending the parade, watching the Wild Women of the Frontier, snarfing up some corn beef and cabbage and listening to the pipes. I’m only Irish on St. Paddy’s Day, and sometimes the weekends before and after. The rest of the time, I’m Scottish and both cultures regard pipes as heavenly. To me, it is also a celebration of spring’s imminent arrival, and the green color carries that message, too.
