Lawrence gets 3 more inches of snow closes schools again
Lawrence received about 3 inches of new snow, measured at Clinton Lake, as the National Weather Service cautioned of possible light freezing rain this evening. Temperatures in the low to mid 30s should melt much of the accumulation, but slippery roads are possible.
