| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A very wet snow fell in all of North Central, Northeast and East Central Kansas. The precipitation was mostly snow from the onset in North Central Kansas. In East Central and most of Northeast Kansas however heavy rain turned to heavy snow with snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour shortly after the changeover occurred. Total accumulations were held down due to soaked ground and temperatures slightly above freezing. The greatest snowfall of 4 to 6 inches fell generally north of Interstate 70. Some specific amounts include Blaine and Concordia 6 inches, Circleville and Munden 5 inches, Seneca 4 to 6 inches, Hiawatha, Marysville and Manhattan 4 inches. Several vehicle accidents resulted with one of them fatal. A motorist lost control on northbound US Highway 59 four miles north of Ottawa in Franklin County and was hit on the passenger side by a suburban vehicle as he slid into the opposing lane. The motorist was killed while the driver of the suburban vehicle suffered minor injuries. |
