Although snow totals fell short of predictions over the weekend, enough of the white stuff fell to entertain, from left, Jonathan, 8, Peyton, 5, and Xavier Hendrix, 4, of Lawrence. The three brothers enjoyed the snow Monday at Centennial Park. More snow is expected to fall Wednesday in the Lawrence area.

Weather forecasters are calling for another round of snow Wednesday in the Lawrence area, but they’re being a bit more cautious about predicting how much this one will bring.

“Preliminary snowfall amounts would indicate around 3 inches,” 6News forecaster Ross Janssen said Monday, adding he could be more precise later.

The National Weather Service in Topeka isn’t yet predicting how much snow will fall.

“It’s still developing, so it’s too early to tell,” meteorologist Phillip Bills said. “It could be several inches.”

Last week, many weather forecasters predicted about a foot of snow would fall over the weekend on the Lawrence, Topeka and Kansas City areas. At most, some places received about half that.

That’s why Worley won’t be listening to predictions about the storm expected to arrive Wednesday afternoon.

“I think they should get a new job,” Worley, 23, of Lawrence, said of weather prognosticators.

This weekend wasn’t the first time meteorologists have missed the boat on snow forecasts, said Worley, who was clearing sidewalks Monday outside Central United Methodist Church, 1501 Mass.

“I quit listening to them a long time ago,” he said.

The weekend storm dumped snow in varying amounts across northeast Kansas. Snowfall predictions for that storm also varied among meteorologists, with some predicting a foot or more of snow.

In Lawrence, only 2 or 3 inches fell, Janssen said. Topeka received almost 7 inches while Perry and Oskaloosa received 6 and 5 inches respectively, according to the weather service. Ottawa received only 1 inch.

“Predicting snowfall amounts is one of the hardest things we do,” Janssen said. “So much depends on the track of the storm. Topeka is only about 20 miles away.”

Paul Shultz, a Kansas University junior from Albuquerque, N.M., gets airborne off a snow jump on Campanile Hill. Skiers, snowboarders and sledders flocked to the hill on Monday for fun in the snow. More snow is expected Wednesday in and around Lawrence.

Lawrence public schools were open Monday, but students in several other surrounding districts got the day off, including those in Baldwin and Eudora.

Sunday and Monday found Lawrence youngsters taking advantage of what snow was available by sledding in city parks and playing hockey on a prepared skating area in Buford M. Watson Jr. Park, Sixth and Kentucky streets. Streets and state highways were generally in good shape by Monday evening, officials said.

“Whenever there is snow on the ground, there may be some blowing and drifting in places and people should still use caution on bridges,” said Krista Roberts, spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Transportation.
