The numbers are in and the K-State Ag Research Center in Hays reported Tuesday’s snowstorm dropped exactly 6 inches of snow on the community.

And with an overnight low of -4 degrees and projected high in the single-digits, the snow isn’t expected to melt away anytime soon.

Compare that to a year ago today, when the high temperature was 61 degrees and the low barely dropped below freezing at 29 degrees.

The record low for today was 79 degrees in 1963, and the coldest Feb. 5 on record was in 1982 and 1996, when the mercury dipped to -13 degrees.

The snowstorm brought the February snowfall total to 7.7 inches, with total snowfall for the winter so far at 11.4 inches.
