One of the largest snowfalls in the last decade came to an end early afternoon in Wichita. Snow totals over 6″ were reported all across the city.
Officially at the NWS Office, the storm total went into the books at 6.5″, making it the largest snow since Feb of 2014 and the largest snow to EVER fall in Wichita on New Years Day. This is the official record broken at the Wichita observation site at the NWS office at the airport.
Winds blew snow and caused drifts up to two feet deep in places. Fortunately, traffic was light thanks to the holiday which likely prevented a much worse morning commute. Winter Storm Warnings that were posted overnight were dropped shortly after the noon hour as most of the snow had ended across the region as the storm pulled away to the northeast.
