The second winter storm in one week has once again paralyzed the country's midsection. This storm has blanketed a wet 8-17 inches of snow across the heartland.
And remember that the areas hardest hit already had an existing foot of
snow from the last storm to come through the area, which was less then a
week ago. The combination of these two major snow storms has broke Wichita, Kansas, record for being the snowiest month in its history with 21". While MidWest residents are excited to see the precipitation, these two major snow storms won't help busting the extreme drought. However, it will help replenish some of aquifers.
This most recent storm has claimed three lives, two from a car accident and one from a roof clasping because of the amount and weight of the snow. Below is a picture from Jeff Master's weather blog showing the amount of snow from the most recent snow storm.
