After overnight ice storm, Kansas City nears record snowfall level for New Year s Day Kevin Hardy, The Kansas City Star
Jan. 1 Kansas City neared record amounts of snow on New Year s Day as a storm continued to dump snow across the metro area.
Before noon Friday, the National Weather Service had reported 2..5 to 3.5 inches of snow in most parts of the area, said forecaster Spencer Mell. The official January 1 record was set in 1948, when Kansas City International Airport recorded 3.5 inches.
The airport saw less snow than most parts of the region with about 1.7 inches counted by noon, Mell said. That number will go up as updated counts arrive, but may not hit the record.
