KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It’s been a January across Kansas City.

A snowstorm followed by a week-long stretch of below-freezing temperatures gave way our current stretch of rainy and foggy conditions just above freezing.

It’s a scenario that’s perfect for the formation of potholes on area roadways.

Kansas City, Missouri, Mayor Quinton Lucas took to social media Friday to remind residents that they can report pothole locations by using the MyKCMO app on smart phone.

KSHB 41 Weather’s Wes Peery took a look at how potholes form last year in a Weather Academy segment.
