1.1″ snowfall at my house 5 N Dodge City as of 1:00am CST on December 31, 2010… making it the first inch of the season! Moderate to heavy snow began during the last hour of my shift at NWS Dodge City. On the official midnight observation, we measured 0.5″, which all fell during that last hour. On the drive home, moderate-heavy snow continued as the last band of heavy snow was positioned over Dodge City (Figure 1). We may get up to 2 inches, depending on how long this last band hangs around and/or redevelops back west a bit.
