A winter storm spread freezing drizzle and snow across the area beginning around mid morning of the 4th and ending around late afternoon.

A woman was killed when her car slid into a van around 10:30 am 4 miles north of Westmoreland. Another fatality resulted 12 miles west of Topeka when a tow truck driver was killed while attempting to pull a vehicle from the ditch along Interstate 70.
