. . .Dodge City ended up with 5 to 6" of snow. . .
The snow came to an end around 2 or 3 a.m. on the 21st. I received maybe an additional quarter inch of snow after the last observation (blog post #9) for a total close to 6 inches. Other spotter reports from around the Dodge City also indicate 5.5 to 6". Here is a table of other storm total snow amounts from around Southwest Kansas (courtesy NWS-Dodge City):
TOTAL EVENT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS FROM JANUARY 20 THROUGH JANUARY 21, 2007. KEEP IN MIND THAT THE SNOW WAS NOT UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED ON THE GROUND AND DRIFTED CONSIDERABLY. THIS MADE ACCURATE MEASUREMENT VERY DIFFICULT.
