| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A massive winter storm of historic proportions affected the region from the early morning hours January 31st through the evening hours February 1st. ||As this storm moved to the east of the area sustained north to northwest winds of 25 mph, with gusts up to 45 mph, produced near-blizzard conditions at times, along with extensive drifts, some of which exceeded 4 feet tall. Additionally, temperatures in the single digits and teens in concert with the strong winds resulted in wind chill readings as cold as minus 30 degrees, with the coldest readings over Central Kansas. Low temperature reading on the morning of February 3rd, ranged from minus 7 degrees in Newton, Kansas to minus 17 degrees in Smolan, Kansas. Unfortunately one person did die from cold exposure in Coffeyville, Kansas, after she fell while removing snow from her backyard, and was unable to get back up. |
