00:00For more on the snow and the brutal cold,

00:02we're joined now by Accuweather

00:03meteorologist Tony law back there

00:05in Burlington, Colorado.

00:06Tony, what's the latest where you are?

00:11Well, you talk about the February

00:13frenzy of flurries, fog and frigidness.

00:14There are a lot of F's being

00:16thrown around out there and yes,

00:18some that we cannot say on TV as well,

00:21because all of that right now we are

00:23dealing with the lighter amounts of

00:25what we're going to be seeing here,

00:27especially as we go over the

00:28next 24 to 48 hours right now.

00:30The Accuweather real field temperature

00:32where I'm at a balmy 6 degrees.

00:34And I say that word balmy on purpose

00:36because as we get further into the

00:38next 24 hours at 6 degrees above zero,

00:40Accuweather real field temperature

00:41is going to feel quite nice when

00:43we start talking about 152030 below.

00:44That is going to be something we

00:46are going to be dealing with here,

00:48especially as you get out a little

00:50bit further east into Kansas.

00:51That is the direction I'm heading,

00:53which is why you see me in this

00:55wonderful snowscape here in eastern Colorado.

00:57We are working our way out.

00:59I-70 making about the five hour

01:00drive from my house near Denver

01:02out to Hayes, Kansas.

01:03Basically going to plant ourselves

01:04on I-70 in the midst of what is

01:06going to be that brutal cold.

01:08And yes,

01:09there's going to be snow with that as well.

01:11Could be looking anywhere between

01:124 to 8 inches of fluffy snow with

01:14enough wind which will make some

01:16visibility issues so certainly some

01:18concerns for travel for folks along I-70.

01:20Even heading down to Wichita,

01:21as you mentioned,

01:22because as you get further southeast,

01:23that is where that snow is going

01:25to be a little bit cooler.

01:26It's going to be a little bit heavier,

01:29especially as you get out towards

01:30southeast Kansas and Missouri.

01:31So a big winter storm that is going to

01:33feel very much like winter here in

01:35the next few days. Alright, Tony,

01:37enjoy that balmy weather there in Colorado.

01:39Meteorologist Tony Labeck.

01:40Thank you so much for that update.
