A strong low pressure system began to slide across the Central Plains during the afternoon of February 12th.  Rain was the initial type of precipitation that fell during the afternoon hours across the NE corner of Kansas.  High temperatures the 12th were able to climb a few degrees above the freezing mark, thanks in part to warm southerly flow out ahead of the low pressure system.   Cold arctic air on the north side of the low began to infiltrate the Central Plains by evening, as the system slid to the east.  This forced temperatures to plummet. The rain switched briefly over to sleet during the early evening, and eventually turned to all snow across much of the NE corner of Kansas around 9pm.
The highest amount measured was 14.0 by a trained spotter just west of the town of Beattie in Marshall County. Otherwise amounts over the winter storm area averaged 5 to 9 inches. Elsewhere, north of Interstate 70, amounts were generally 2 to 4 inches. Meanwhile, along and south of Interstate 70, 1 to 3 inches was common.
The storm produced widespread hazardous driving conditions. Numerous indirect injuries occurred in traffic accidents including some roll overs and even some jack-knifed semis. A number of schools were also closed due to the hazardous conditions. Fortunately, no serious injuries or deaths occurred.
