The Wichita Eagle is reporting:
A snowstorm elbowed its way into the record books as it laid siege to
Wichita and much of the rest of Kansas on Thursday, bringing traffic to
a virtual standstill.
Overnight snowfall was so heavy that
whiteout conditions were being reported Thursday in and near Wichita as
the morning commute began – and again later in the day in south-central,
western and northern Kansas.
More than 100 traffic accidents had
been reported countywide by mid-evening. Even a plane got stuck in the
snow at Wichita Mid-Continent Airport.
“The majority of activity
across the state of Kansas has come to a stop,” the Kansas Adjutant
General’s Office reported in a statement Thursday.
A rare
thundersnow storm dumped several inches of snow on Wichita just before
dawn Thursday; as the storm pulled out of the area by evening, the total
was 14.2 inches. Only the storm of Jan. 17-18, 1962, delivered more
snow: 15 inches.
And so it goes.
