A backdoor cold front pushed southwestward into portions of Central through Southeast Kansas during the morning hours of April 5th. This front eventually stalled out and interacted with an upper level system to spawn a rather intense and narrow band of snow. The band of snow stretched from Russell and Lincoln counties southeastward, intensified across Saline, McPherson and Marion counties before losing steam across Greenwood and Elk counties. The heaviest, most intense snow fell from southwest Saline County to southeast Marion County and encompassed the northeast two-thirds McPherson County. This area saw 6 to 8 inches of snow.
