JUNCTION CITY — Geary County Extension Agent Chuck Otte said Tuesday’s snowstorm set a modern-day record for heaviest single snowfall event.
Otte has maintained snowfall records in Geary County since the winter of 1992-93.
He said this week’s storm was measured in west Junction City at 10.5 inches. That beats the previous record established on Feb. 9 and 10, 2001, when 10 inches of snow was deposited on Geary County.
