What happened

The episode as NWS GLD wrote it up.

A strong winter storm system produced a variety of severe winter weather across northwest Kansas. The storm started as a freezing rain/drizzle event on the 10th of November. This resulted in icy roads causing numerous traffic accidents across the area including semi-tractor trailers jack-knifing along Interstate 70. The freezing precipitation then changed over to heavy snow for portions of northwest Kansas early on the 11th. Snowfall amounts ranged from 12 inches across Decatur and Rawlins counties to 1-2 inches across Greeley and Wichita counties.
