A late season snowfall event brought two to six inches of snow to portions of north central and northeast Kansas the morning of April 2nd, with snowfall accumulations generally north of Interstate 70, north of a line from Ottawa to Brown Counties. Strong, deep frontogenetic forcing brought sufficient lift to the region to help produce these substantive amounts, despite the low-level moisture in place across the region. Surface temperatures were notably in the upper 30s to lower 40s through the duration of the event, but the intensity of the snowfall because of the enhanced lift allowed for relatively deep accumulations. Vehicle accidents occurred across the region on both primary and secondary roadways, but no deaths or injuries were reported.
