sweetapricity/bridgedeck-noaa huggingface dataset:
An area of low pressure tracked eastward from the Tennessee Valley to the coast of the Carolinas, before swinging northward along the U.S. east coast. Initially, temperatures were warm enough for rain to fall, but as colder air worked its way into the area behind the departing low pressure, the precipitation changed over to snow. Late in the event, warmer air just off the surface worked its way into parts of the area resulting in a period of freezing rain across the Northern Mountains. Snowfall amounts generally ranged from 3 to 6 inches. Freezing rain accretion was around one to three-tenths of an inch.

Although not a major storm by any means, this Sunday morning featured a quick-hitting burst of fluffy, wind-driven snow that roughly doubled accumulation expectations across portions of North Central Kansas, especially within Jewell and Smith counties where 2-4 was common.  According to reports from official NWS cooperative observers, some of the highest totals in the local six-county area featured: 4.0 at Burr Oak, 3.0 at Jewell and Lebanon, and 2.6 at Smith Center. Although even these totals were relatively modest by Central Plains standards, this event packed somewhat of a punch given sustained north winds generally 20-25 MPH/gusts 30+ MPH, resulting in some drifting and at least brief visibility reductions to one-half mile or less.
As for timing, the vast majority of accumulating snow fell between 5AM-Noon, gradually ending from north-to-south. Forcing-wise, this event was driven by a classic case of pronounced mid-level frontogenesis, trailing well-behind a strong surface cold front that passed through during the preceding 24 hours. On the larger scale, a broad shortwave trough tracked southeast from the Northern Rockies/Dakotas into the Midwest over the course of Feb. 4th. Locally, this snow event was accompanied by a very cold airmass featuring surface temperatures mainly in the single digits to around 10 degrees F, and wind chill values ranging from -5 to -15 F.

The heaviest snowfall was concentrated between Ames and Des Moines, roughly centered over Interstate 35.  Towns in the path included Slater, Huxley, Cambridge, and Alleman.  Travel just a few miles in any direction, and snowfall amounts fell to around 2 inches or less.
The general setup had a low pressure system sliding southeast of Iowa on a path from eastern Nebraska into central Missouri. A relatively typical winter setup, leaving areas of Iowa in line for precipitation (liquid and frozen) as warm air lifted over the warm front and wrapped around/into the low pressure system.  Smaller-scale banded features prevailed in effectively training heavy snowfall over the same area for a number of hours in the early morning hours of the 17th.

A deep upper trough over the Great Basin provided for a cold northerly flow over central California for several days beginning on the afternoon of February 19. This resulted in a cold and dry airmass becoming settled over the San Joaquin Valley by the morning of February 20 as the valley experienced its coldest morning in several years at many locations as many reporting stations reported several hours of subfreezing temperatures. Since many trees and plants were already in bloom, numerous crops experienced significant damage from the cold overnight temperatures. The snap pea crop was nearly wiped out entirely and several nut orchards experienced significant crop damage as the almond crop was especially hit hard. Damage to citrus was somewhat migitated by the fact that much of the crop had already been harvested.  The damage would have been significantly greater if not for frost protection measures taken by several growers.
