First major winter storm of the year moving into the Plains and will bring the first snow for many areas across the state along with some of coldest temperatures recorded in the month of October for cities across western Kansas.
Light freezing drizzle began early Sunday morning before changing over to light snow and accumulations began late in the afternoon across far northwest Kansas as heavier snow began to move in, signalling the start to what will accumulate half a foot or more across parts of the region.
Icy spots on I-70 created some early travel issues and snow blowing across the interstate also limited visibility at times. Snow started to accumulate in Goodland by late afternoon.
