To Snow or Not To Snow
After reading and hearing about the unbelievable amounts of snow that have fallen in the Northeast, I decided to look into our local snow history. The heaviest 24 hour snowfall ever recorded in Lawrence was 13.8 " in 1962. It turns out that this part of Kansas has only been intermittently snowy with the end of the 70s through the 80s being the snowiest period overall, with frequent, if not remarkably heavy, snowfalls. This would explain why I remember snow mountains in parking lots and by streets that would not melt for weeks and weeks when I first moved here in 1985.
