Or at least we hope it was happy. Regardless, your safety is our primary concern so we're not going to beat around the bush. Let us start with a precursory disclaimer though. As you all are well aware at this point, Winter Weather pretty much does what it wants, and because of that, weather models & guidance for decision support is pretty dicey at best. What that means is, whatever we & the professional Meteorologists say, things are not only possible to change, but are probably going to change. This is our best guess right this moment! Plan for the worst, hope for the best. Got it? Good. Onto the meat & bones of this Weather FYI.
A Winter Weather Advisory
NWS Kansas City issued the following Advisory this morning, and you'd do well to look at the full details by clicking on the graphic below.

Here at Twisted Skies, we try not to just be a copy/paste service of information, so here's the quick version of what we're thinking about all the current models, what the local meteorologists are saying, and what NWS Kansas City thinks. Remember, these are NOT facts, it's just what we feel is likely right now.
- Snow to start slowly in the immediate KC Metro mid afternoon, and picking up in the hours after Sunset.
- Heavier Snow to taper off at the end of Monday morning rush hour, likely causing road issues. Rest of the Snow to taper off through the day.
- Generally 2" of snow in the immediate KC Metro, with higher amounts to the South & Southeast. Also, higher amounts could easily be reached if this storm takes a little more Northernly track, meaning we could easily see 3" or 4" of Snow.
Time to Get Ready
Our team is going to try to watch this as it develops. If things change enough, we'll definitely put out another update. For right now, it looks like most of today should be fine for getting around, and less fine after sunset. Make sure your Winter Car Kit is in order, top off your gas tank, be sure to bundle up if you're outside because it's going to be pretty frigid today & tomorrow, and for everyone's sake, if it is precipitating, PLEASE turn your headlights on! That makes it safer for you, and for everyone around you when you're driving.
Stay safe out there,
