| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The start of 1999 was ushered in with light snow, ice and very cold weather across north-central Kansas. On New Years Day, light freezing drizzle began late in the morning and continued all day. By evening, a thin layer of ice was noted on roads, trees and power lines. Some brief power outages were reported. During the evening, some areas received 1 to 2 inches of snow which only made travel more treacherous. On the 2nd, strong north winds gusting to 30 mph forced temperatures lower and wind chill readings well below zero. While air temperatures dropped to 5 below zero the morning of the 3rd, chill factors ranged from 25 to 40 below zero through that afternoon. |
