Snowing like crazy in Kansas

at noon local -- it looks like 6 to 8 inches...it's hard to tell because the wind is drifting it.

We are getting more this afternoon.

So far, power is on and satellite TV and internet are good to go -- I think it's because the snow is light and dry. No ice...no sleet.

Airport is closed -- all schools and Fort Leavenworth were announced to close YESTERDAY afternoon -- the afternoon before the storm, which is unusual.
