A strong winter storm system affected much of central and southwest Kansas starting as early as Friday, January 13th, at some locations, and ended early Monday, January 16th, 2017.  The greatest ice accretion did not occur until late Saturday evening on the 14th and continued into late afternoon on Sunday the 15th.  Surface winds increased during Sunday evening and continued through much of Monday the 16th.   However, impacts were felt throughout the week due to power loss, school closings, tree and power line damage, etc..  The greatest accretion of Ice stretched from Liberal and Ashland, north through Dodge City, Jetmore, Greensburg and Larned.  Water equivalent was 2 to as much as  4 1/2 inches.
Dollar amount of damage was still not know as of the end of March, 2017. But, early estimates were well over $15 million done to power poles, power lines, tree damage and removal, and damage to structures from falling tree limbs.   Some areas were without electricity for a week.
