A slow moving storm system tracked across north Texas into Arkansas.  Northeast Kansas was on the far northwest fringe of the storm system.  The southerly track and mild temperatures in the 30 to 35 degree range helped to mitigate the impacts of the heavy wet snow that fell across parts of the area.  In a nutshell, areas along and southeast of the Kansas Turnpike from Wichita to Emporia to Topeka and east toward Kansas City all received several inches or more of wet snow.  The snow began during the late evening of February 25th and ended by midday on the 26th.
