South wind and snow. The most interesting aspect of this storm is the wind direction. A south-southeast wind direction is uncommon for significant accumulating snows in Southwest Kansas. In fact, the winds have gusted at times to 25 mph, creating drifts in not-so common areas. Strong winds with snow in the high plains are almost always out of the north. Below is a surface map valid 4pm CST 1/20:
Blue dotted line is approximate Snow-"mix" line. Green line is roughly the "mix"-cold rain line.
This storm has been a bust for Oklahoma City, where they were originally expecting 4-8" of snow. They really haven’t seen a flake yet… mainly sleet and cold rain. I’m glad I’m not down there for this storm! This was a very difficult storm to predict, once again, for precipitation type in Oklahoma.
