Not much has changed in the newest forecas from the National Weather Service. 

The amount of snow predicted remains the same. Meanwhile, it is starting to sleet around my location.

For the most part today, the streets have been very quiet. Just a few vehicle incidents have been reported over the police scanner. With snow and ice coming in later tonight, that'll probably change.

No major closings have been announced yet, either. Meanwhile, a more recent Weather Channel map above has shifted the heavier snow bands north of Wyandotte County and Kansas City.

It appears the biggest snow falls will miss Wyandotte County.....yet again.

The forecast, as of 2 p.m. today:
