The storm that dumped a foot of snow in parts of western Kansas ran out of steam before it reached us. Saint Joseph area residents woke up to about an inch of mixed snow, sleet, and ice. Streets and roads are in pretty good shape.

Police report a flurry of minor accidents when the storm moved in, but nothing overnight. City street crews and MODOT kept the pavement clear, but watch out for the usual slick spots on bridges and overpasses.
