Winter Update....

Now we have been upgraded from a Winter Storm Watch to an Ice Storm Warning.... It looks like the fun is just starting to begin!!! So here is a copy of the warning itself...

An ice storm warning remains in effect until 6 am cst Thursday. A large area of freezing rain and thunderstorms will continue to overspread northwest missouri and eastern kansas this afternoon. Temperatures were already below freezing across the warning area, and will steadily fall through the 20s this afternoon. Freezing rain, heavy at times, will lead to significant ice accumulations through this afternoon into tonight. Rapid ice accumulations could accompany any thunderstorms, with total ice accumulations up to one inch possible. This is an extremely dangerous situation for much of the kansas city metropolitan area, where roadways were already becoming slick across northern and western portions of the city as of 230 pm cst, with spotter reports indicating up to one tenth of an inch of icing. Conditions will continue to deteriorate into the overnight hours, with ice accumulations possibly leading to snapped power lines and falling tree branches.
