An upper level low sat over the Intermountain West at the beginning of this time frame then slowly moved eastward through the Central Rockies and Central Plains through November 30th. Upper level shortwaves ejected eastward towards western Kansas as the low shifted eastward.
At the surface,  low pressure located east of the area with a trough of low pressure across eastern Colorado allowed copious amounts of low to mid-level moisture to be advected northward from the Gulf of Mexico. A strong cold front moved through the area overnight on the 26th pushing this moisture into the mid levels. Precipitation fell behind this front as isentropic lift increased overnight. A wide range of precipitation fell overnight into the next morning with rain changing over to a mix of sleet, freezing rain, and snow. Over a quarter of an inch of ice was reported across portions of south central Kansas stretching westward as far as Liberal to Dodge City to Great Bend. A mix of sleet and snow was reported west of this line with minimal accumulations by the afternoon of the 27th. Periodic episodes of light freezing rain continued across portions of south central Kansas over the remainder of the 27th through the 29th with light freezing drizzle at times across the remainder of the forecast area. Another strong upper level shortwave moved through the area the night of the 29th into the morning of the 30th bringing another round of precipitation across western Kansas. Additional freezing rain, sleet, and snow were reported across central and south central Kansas with sleet and snow reported elsewhere. Up to 3 inches was reported across portions of west central Kansas with lesser amounts as you headed eastward. Ice accumulations over three quarters of an inch were reported across portions of south central Kansas with lesser amounts as you headed westward.
