Ice Storm #3 Hits the Ozarks
Another ice storm brought significant accumulations of sleet and freezing rain to extreme southeast Kansas and the Missouri Ozarks Thursday, February 21, 2008. Unlike the previous two ice storms this winter the precipitation was primarily in the form of sleet. This prevented damaging ice accumulations on trees and power lines. Sleet accumulations of one half to one inch were common with locally higher totals near two inches. A glaze of freezing rain up to one quarter of an inch coated exposed objects. The precipitation was accompanied by lightning and thunder in some areas.
