A late season snow fell across NE Kansas, as a deep low pressure system slid across the Central Plains and dragged cold northerly air southward.
Although most snowfall reports were under two inches, the gusty winds combined with the wet snow caused scattered power outages. A number of accidents occurred due to the hazardous conditions. A few schools were also closed. Some locally heavier amounts of snow did occur...
mainly to the west and north of Manhattan.
