It’s a snow day in Kansas City, and a winter storm is blanketing the metro with several inches of snowfall early Wednesday. In Kansas City’s Northland, just over 2 inches of snow had already fallen by 7 a.m. near Liberty, and the worst is yet to come.

While much of the mid-Atlantic was digging out from a winter storm that brought heavy snow to the Washington, D.C., area, a second storm is expected to follow, bringing snow, sleet and freezing rain along a more northerly track from Colorado to Maine.
