Light to moderate snow showers began falling across parts of central Kansas during the evening of Tuesday, February 3rd, and became more numerous and spread into much of southwest and the rest of south central Kansas during the morning of Wednesday, February 4th.  Numerous schools closed, and remained closed through the weekend.  Road crews were confronted with a layer of ice after snow was plowed.  This ice and snow on roadways caused a number of accidents during the next two days, mainly in Ness, Ellis, Pawnee, Stafford, Pratt and Barber Counties.  By the time the snow ended Wednesday evening, a 2 county-wide swatch with 6 to 8 inch snow depths, fell from near Medicine Lodge in Barber County to St. John in Stafford County, to Hays in Ellis County, then back to the southwest to near Dighton in Lane County.  An area of 4 to 5 inch snow amounts, 30 to 70 miles wide, fell to the west of the heavier amounts listed above, with the center line running from Ashland in Clark County to Jetmore in Hodgeman County, through northwestern Finney County to northwestern Lane County.  Amounts from 1 to 3 inches fell from near Scott City to just east of Lakin in Kearney County to Liberal in Seward County, including the communities of Cimarron and Sublette.  The snow tapered off or ended by 3 PM CST in the central part of DDC's CWA, and ended by 9 PM CST in the eastern CWA.
