KANSAS CITY, Mo. — People across the Kansas City area have been so gracious in sending KSHB 41 their photos and videos from the blizzard that we wanted to showcase some of our favorites.
Julie Barnett sang a happy song for her dream come true.
“I prayed for all of this," Barnett said. "I was like, 'Please, let’s get snowed in."' "I love snow.”
She’s not kidding.
Julie and her husband, Brad, were originally in Kansas City on Saturday to attend a wedding.
Sunday was the unexpected surprise.
“We got a notification that our flight was canceled that we were supposed to fly home back to North Texas, Dallas area,” Brad Barnett said.
But these Texans didn’t skip a beat.
“We love to be outside together,” Brad Barnett said. So now, we have this kind of bonus day.”
It was a bonus day for plenty of folks across the Kansas City area.

She’s just happy she can provide the real treat.
“Sharon keeps us well hydrated with hot chocolate,” her husband, Tom, joked.
