As much rain as we've had- weather models indicate it's far from over. Storm systems will affect the MetroRegion late this weekend- early next week- then possible dual systems over the last few days of October.
The area could see it's first general frost around Halloween.
One of Kansas City's popular TV weathermen says the weather pattern in October is the one that establishes the pattern in the upcoming winter months.
Ten inches of rain would roughly equal 100 inches- or more than 8 feet- of snow.
