The spring season may finally be here but Midwest snowstorm makes the new season unfelt in that part of the country. As weather agencies report, few signs of spring can be found in parts of the Midwest as a snowstorm, tracking along Interstate 70, bring heavy snow and winds.

The National Weather Service said some areas in Colorado and Kansas saw 10 to 15 inches of snow Saturday, with parts of southwestern Nebraska getting up to 7 inches of snow. Winds gusting at speed of up to 45 mph developed snowdrifts of 2 to 3 feet in all three states according to Ryan Husted, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Goodland, KS.

“We have pretty much cleared out. Sunny skies. It’s starting to melt a little bit,” says Husted.

States eastward weren’t lucky as well when the system moved on. Winter storm warnings and advisories have been issued for Sunday and Monday as far east from Pennsylvania.

The storm has a dumped up to 9 inches of snow from eastern Kansas into central Missouri. It finally tapered off Sunday morning according to a report by Dan Hawblitzel, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in suburban Kansas City. In the mid-Missouri town of Columbia, a TV station was briefly evacuated Sunday morning due to heavy high winds and a heavy buildup of snow on the broadcast tower next to the building.

Despite the heavy snowfall, however, it’s didn’t affect the NCAA Tournament 2013 schedule.

Wynn Butler, 62, of Manhattan, Kan,., says that “The snow is not an issue.” He was in town with his daughter, a University of Kansas graduate, to watch her alma matter take on North Carolina.

Butler said that his car was in a parking garage and he can walk from his hotel to the Sprint Center. He also figures the roads will be clear before they leave after the game, which was scheduled to start late Sunday afternoon.

Snow also began to fall in earnest in St. Louis and western Illinois on Sunday morning.

“The snow intensity is pretty so the visibility is low,” according to Todd Waserman, director of the City of St. Louis Street Departments. “So we’ve asked people to stay off the road and let our plows do their job. And people seem to be heeding that warning.”

The storm is expected to weaken as it coasts along Pennsylvania late Sunday and into Monday, and will total 3 to 8 inches once it accumulates. It will exit the coast of New Jersey Monday night and it could leave 1 to 3 inches of snow in southern New York and New Jersey.
