A major winter storm struck all of north central...northeast and east central Kansas in late January.  Freezing rain mixed at times with sleet occurred across east central Kansas from the early evening of January 29 into the morning of January 31.  The freezing rain accumulated as much as an inch and a half of glaze which caused considerable power line and tree damage. Many residents remained without power well into February.  Several buildings collapsed under the weight of the ice doing considerable damage to the contents.  A boat marina at Lake Perry collapsed under the weight of the ice and damaged or destroyed 19 boats.  Northeast Kansas received mostly snow from the night of the 29th into the early afternoon of the 31st, although some sleet and freezing rain was mixed in at times. Snow fell across north central Kansas from the late morning of the 30th into the late afternoon of the 31st.  Snowfall amounts of 6 to 12 inches occurred over north central and parts of northeast Kansas.  The area in between the heavy glaze and heavy snow, roughly from Manhattan and Herington east to Topeka, received a heavy mixture of sleet mixed with freezing rain and snow.  Many businesses, schools, colleges, and even the State Legislature were closed for several days because of the storm.  Preliminary damage estimates are around 8 million dollars.
