Event narrative (NOAA)
The same winter storm that all but paralized south-central Kansas hit southeast Kansas early on the morning of the 30th and lasted well into the morning of the 31st. Freezing rain was almost solely responsible for ice accumulations of 1-2 inches that caused widespread tree and power line damage. The resulting power outages affected nearly all of the region and lasted, in some cases, nearly a week.
