A quick moving 500mb shortwave swept across the Central Plains and deposited the first measurable snow across northeast Kansas overnight November 23 through the morning hours of November 24th. The snow generally began around 9pm CST over north central Kansas and spread eastward over the course of the next hour, before ending between 5 and 6am CST across the region. Accumulated snowfall totals were generally light, and ranged from one half of an inch to one inch across portions of Jefferson, Shawnee, and Lyon Counties, to around 1 to 3 inches across counties further north and west in the Topeka Coutny Warning Area. But, this first snowfall of the season occurred the weekend after the Thanksgiving holiday, and numerous car crashes were reported across the area as a result of the slick conditions established by the wintry precipitation.  At least one stretch of I-70 in Topeka was shut down for 90 minutes to clear the scene of an accident.
