The 2014-2015 winter season hasn't been particularly white in the Kansas City metro area, but Wednesday's expected 1-3 inch snow accumulation and early dismissals by some area schools has us wondering: will this be the last chance kids will get to go careening down (mostly) snow-covered hills?
National Weather Service forecaster Jared Leighton says probably not.
"We're not out of the woods as far as winter weather goes until April," Leighton says. "Until we get done with March, we have plenty of chances for snow."
Leighton also added that in 2013, Kansas City had heavy snowfall in March and May. So there's hope yet for the youths to break out the sleds and cooking spray to get some snow day thrills after Wednesday.
Current forecasts are showing that temperatures will likely get into the mid-50s by Friday, so this week's accumulation likely won't last past then. Better get out there, Kansas City.
