Great Plains Christmas Eve 2009 Blizzard [post 8]

Filed under: Dec 23-24, 2009 — Mike U @ 1:40 pm

Freezing rain and 30°F in Johnson County, KS. The storm appears to be on track.  Blizzard conditions continue to spread northeast along with the mixed precipitation/snow line.  As of 18z (Noon), Topeka was having a sleet/snow mix, Lawrence was sleet, and it was freezing rain here in Overland Park.  Below is a cool graphic showing the national radar mosaic along with the model depiction of the radar picture for the same time from the 12z run of the high-resolution NMM-WRF model:

  1. Sorry you guys missed out on the snow. I’m patiently waiting here in Minnesota. Very impressive storm. Probably the biggest for the Twin Cities since Halloween 1991.

    Thanks for you updates.

  2. Hi Cody, yeah another miss for Dodge City, but that’s okay, I managed to make it back east to KC for Christmas with the family and a nice little brief blizzard to go along! Thanks for reading. -Mike U
