A powerful spring snowstorm moved through Kansas from the afternoon of April 13th to the early morning hours of April 14th. Winter storm warnings were hoisted for much of Central and South Central Kansas. The storm was strong enough that numerous areas reported thundersnow. All the ingredients came together for significant snowfall except that temperatures in the lowest part of the atmosphere just weren't cold enough to support heavy snow. None-the-less, a swath of heavy, wet snow on the order of 5 to 6 inches fell from northern Harvey through Chase Counties. Lesser amounts on the order of 2 to 4 inches blanketed areas from Kingman through Reno and McPherson Counties. 1 to 2 inches fell across Sedgwick County with the Mid-Continent Airport setting a record for the latest measurable snowfall. ICT recorded 0.8 inches of snow on April 14th and combined with the 0.5 inches on the 13th from the storm. The copious amounts of moisture spiraling into the storm system also caused minor flooding in portions of Southeast Kansas.
