A wild storm system brought a variety of weather types rarely seen in a single day, and even some strange weather combinations occurring at the same time. For instance: One particular strong thunderstorm in north central Kansas produced a combination of nickel size hail and heavy freezing rain as it traveled over ground level air that was only 30 degrees.  At Concordia, the temperature fell from 64 degrees at 7 AM to 40 degrees at 2 PM as the cold front passed through.  During the afternoon and evening, hail up to the size of golfballs fell from severe thunderstorms in Dickinson county.  By Sunrise on Wednesday, a quarter of an inch of freezing rain was clinging to the trees at the same location.  Driving conditions became quite hazardous on Wednesday morning across areas west of a Marysville to Manhattan to Council Grove line due to repeated rounds of freezing rain that eventually froze to the roadways.
