Winter weather conditions can occur in Kansas City anytime during the Fall, Winter, and Spring seasons. Overall, the city receives about 20 inches of snow and several ice storms during the year. The guidelines for declaring a winter weather event and other aspects of Kansas City's snow and ice control program are outlined.
