As the lowintensified, 6-8 inch snowfalls combined with gusty northeast winds of 40-50 mph to whip up 7-10 foot drifts. Most businesses andhighways were closed for 2-3 days. Lesser snowfalls around 3 inches prevailed across Reno, Kingman and Harvey counties but withgusty northeast winds of 40 mph 3-6 foot drifts resulted.KSZ032>033-047>050- Russell - Lincoln - Barton - Ellsworth - Saline - Rice - Reno - Harper067-09116172000CST1000CST0 0 1MIce StormLow pressure moving slowly northeast across Oklahoma and southern Kansas induced a strong, sub-freezing northeast surfaceupslope that, when combined with strong 850-mb warm advection, produced widespread freezing rain across Central and parts ofSouth-Central Kansas. The freezing rain combined with northeast winds of 20-30 mph to produce 1/2-1 inch of glazing acrossCentral Kansas with the greater accumulation across Russell and Barton counties. Extensive damage to trees, power lines and powerpoles resulted including a 300-foot radio tower that toppled over in northern Russell County.KSZ051>052-067>070-082>083-091>093Mcpherson - Marion - Reno - Harvey - Butler - Greenwood - Kingman - Sedgwick - Harper - Sumner -Cowley19 0600CST1500CST0 0Heavy SnowLow pressure positioned along the Wyoming/Colorado border dropped southeast to the Texas Panhandle early on the morning of the19th.
