Ice accumulations for much of south central and southeast Kansas were confined to mainly elevated surfaces and objects with amounts around a quarter of an inch. Several tree limbs and some power lines were knocked down by the higher ice accumulation. Some of the worst ice accumulation began to affect locations along and west of a line from Anthony to Hutchinson to Lincoln.

A third wave of precipitation began late Saturday night and continued all day Sunday across the entire region however, the freezing line begin to shift west which stopped the rain from freezing across portions of southern Kansas. Ice begin to accumulate over the area but was mainly confined to elevated surfaces, trees, and power lines with temperatures hovering around the freezing mark however, locations that had temperatures at 30 degrees or colder witnessed more efficient ice accretion. There was a lull in the precipitation for much of the night on Friday into Saturday morning before the next wave hit southern Kansas on Saturday afternoon and continued through the overnight hours. Numerous accidents occurred in a short period of time across the region, and a twenty-two car pile-up occurred on the exit ramp from Kellogg onto the Central Business District. Surface temperatures were in the upper 20s which caused this light rain to freeze on impact and created icy road conditions especially for untreated and elevated roadways. Meanwhile a second area of light freezing rain developed over south central Kansas on Friday evening and moved northward across the Wichita metro area during the rush hour commute home. The first episode of freezing rain began early Friday morning across southeast Kansas and continued into the evening hours. This generated several episodes of rain and freezing rain across Kansas which with the precipitation type predicated on the surface temperatures. Consequently as the shallow cold air remained locked in place across the region, warm moist air begin to stream northward and over top of the sub-freezing air mass. The next stage was a strong upper level weather system digging itself in over the southwestern states on Thursday, January 12th which moved very slowly to the northeast towards the heartland by Sunday, January 15 th. The first stage was all started with the entrance of shallow cold arctic air spreading southward across the northern and central plains on Wednesday, January 11 th.

Significant icing events for the Central Plains typically come in stages and span over three or more days, and this event followed that blue print.
