Just changed over to sleet on the backside.  Well it’s now 6am, after a night filled with freezing rain and occasional claps of thunder at 31-32°F.  The surface cold front has just pushed through as our winds are now out of the north, so our temperature will now slowly fall throughout the day.  As a result of the deeper cold air now, the warm layer aloft is being pinched off, thus we are changing over to sleet now in Dodge City.  Garden City observation had light snow on the last observation.  A very nebulous "comma head" of precipitation will produce mainly snow through midday across Southwest Kansas, although since this wave ejecting out is not a closed low per-say, there shouldn’t be a whole lot of significant "wrap-around" precipitation back in the cold air.  Exactly 1.00" of precipitation has been recorded by the Dodge City ASOS by 6:10am this morning…. all of it in the form of freezing rain.  I haven’t had the chance to see what has accumulated and been damaged from around town, but just by the looks of the healthy trees in my front yard and my neighbor’s, there’s at least 1/2 to 3/4" ice accumulation.
