The snowfall we encountered Friday night and Saturday morning is ushering in a possibly active weather pattern for this week.
TV-13 meteorologist Doug Meyers says there is a chance of widespread freezing fog Tuesday morning.
Meyers also says two other storm systems could come through later this week.
So far, there have been no travel issues reported by local law enforcement. Seasonal driving conditions are reported on US Highway 50 and Kansas Highway 177 in Chase County, as well as Interstate 35 from Road X in Lyon County east into Franklin County and US Highway 75 from BETO Junction south to Kansas Highway 58.
