Late March Blizzard
A very significant late season Winter storm dumped one to two feet of snow across parts of Central, South Central and Southwest Kansas. The heavy snow and strong winds resulted in blizzard conditions in some of these areas from Friday March 27th into early Saturday March 28th. Meanwhile, significant accumulations of ice from freezing rain and sleet also affected the Flint Hills and Southeast Kansas, with some snow accumulations before the wintry precipitation ended Saturday evening. Several areas reported power outages due to the snow, ice and wind. |
