Snow and ice fell across most of southwest and south central Kansas.  Snow mixed with sleet or ice pellets occurred southeast of a line from Ashland to Greensburg to Kinsley to Larned.  Strong north winds of 30 to 45 MPH caused plenty of blowing and drifting snow, with every county in the CWA reporting less than a quarter mile visibility for several hours, with occasional white out conditions.  Snowfall amounts were banded, with the two highest reports both being 6 inches, from southern Gray county and central Stanton county.  A 30 to 40 mile wide band of snowfall amounts from 4 to 5 inches fell from just north of Scott City southwest through northern Kearny county to southwest of Johnson City in Stanton County.  Another swath of snow 35 to 45 miles wide, also with snow amounts from 4 to 5 inches, fell from near Meade to Cimarron through Dodge City and Greensburg to near Medicine Lodge.  One more band of 4 to 5 inch amounts fell from extreme northwest Hodgeman County to just northwest of Ness City to near Hays.  Many schools and other planned activities were cancelled due to the weather, especially the low visibilities.  Numerous traffic accidents were reported in Liberal, Dodge City, Pratt, and Medicine Lodge.  Two jack-knifed semi-trailers, on a portion of Kansas Highway 96 between Scott City and Leoti, caused the highway to be closed for an hour and a half.  Zero visibility conditions closed U.S. Highway west of Ulysses for about 3 hours Tuesday afternoon on the 10th.
