Rare narrow band of snow 150 miles long and 15 wide
Leigh Marts was on her way from St. Louis to Phoenix on Wednesday when she spotted something unusual out the window of her Southwest Airlines flight: a narrow strip of white, flanked by bare grass, lay painted across the Kansas prairie below.
A similar sight was seen above Hutchinson, Kansas.
Weather satellites confirmed the bizarre feature, which highlights the meteorological caprice that can give rise to such narrow swaths of snow. More than a foot of snow fell in the band, which was 10 to 15 miles wide in places. Just a few miles on either side, there were hardly flurries.
The thin stretch of intense snow was oriented northwest to southeast, passing through parts of Russell, Lincoln and Ellsworth counties in Kansas. The snow persisted toward Cottonwood Falls and Marion.
The National Weather Service has cancelled the blizzard warning and has instead issued a lake effect snow warning.
The lake effect snow warning is in effect in Jefferson, Lewis and Oswego counties until 4 a.m. Saturday.
According to the NWS, 31.7 inches of snow fell in Watertown as of 3 p.m. Friday. In Carthage, a whopping 40 inches of snow was reported as of 4:40 p.m. Friday.
Additional snow accumulations of 6 to 11 inches are possible in the most persistent snowfall areas. Wind gusts are forecast to be as high as 30 miles per hour.
The lake shore flood warning remains in effect until 7 p.m. Friday.
They were right: So far, Carthage, in Jefferson County, has measured exactly 48 inches of snow since the storm began Thursday. Copenhagen, in Lewis County, has measured 44.2 inches so far.

End of February and frost formation in southern Brazil. The fourth summer frost in 2020.
The city of São Joaquim-SC, at the top of 'Serra Catarinense', registered a new frost record in the middle of February, and the fourth summer frost in 2020.
The measurement was made in 'Vale do Caminhos da Neve,' 3 km from the center of São Joaquim.
According to the Keizer Station Network, the low temperature in the municipality was 2ºC. However, the smallest state in Urupema was around 0.9ºC
Moscow, which for the past months has largely been deprived of its traditional seasonal covering of snow, has seen its warmest winter since records began, Russia's state weather service has annoucned.
The head of Russia's forecasting centre Roman Vilfand told the TASS news agency that the average temperature in Russia from December to February has been 2.5C warmer than the previous record of -2.8C seen in the winter of 1960-1961.
He said such differences between records were extremely rare. Records began 140 years ago in Russia.
"I am sure that we are not going to see such a warm winter again for a long time," he said. He added that the winter record for Russia as a whole would also likely be beaten but said the data was still being compiled.
Comment: Cosmoslogical processes, indeed. Weather, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and much else besides, are regulated by cosmic ray flux and solar activity.
Don't get us wrong - something is going on, but 'greening the economy' isn't going to put a dent in it.
Nearly a hundred and fifty people had to be rescued by ICE-SAR yesterday after their vehicles got snowed in on the Ring Road around the Eyjafjöll mountains and Jökulsá á Sólheimasandi glacial river in South and Southeast Iceland on Thursday night, RÚV reports.
The trouble started around 5pm on Thursday, when police in South Iceland were notified that a car had gotten stuck in the snow on the bridge over Jökulsá á Sólheimasandi glacial river, blocking all other traffic. By the time police arrived, many other vehicles had queued on either side of the bridge while heavy snow continued to fall. In the end, ICE-SAR had to transport passengers from 45 vehicles to temporary overnight accommodations, either at a hotel in Skógar or a shelter that the Red Cross opened in Heimaland.

A major snowstorm is currently underway in the Alps.
Snowfall is widespread across the region but so far heaviest in the north and west.
The snow is still falling and new stats are arriving every few moments but so far amongst the biggest accumulations have been reported in France and Switzerland.
Crans Montana has reported the most snow - a metre in the past 48 hours, but it looks like more resorts will pass the metre mark by the weekend.
Quite harsh winter conditions on Axalp, Switzerland yesterday (1500m asl), as the cold front passed over the Alps.
Snow has fallen across high ground in Australia in the tail end of its summer, which has seen extreme weather in the form of both wildfires and flooding.
Mountainous parts of Tasmania, an island off Australia's south coast, saw "just enough snow to settle" on Thursday, according to a Bureau of Meteorology forecaster.
Glen Perrin said the conditions are likely to last until the early hours of Friday local time.
The national weather service said that more snow could fall above around 1000m in parts of Tasmania, including Mount Field and Mount Wellington.
A video shared on social media showed snow falling across a ski club in Ben Lomond, a mountain in the region's north.
An Unalaska man was killed in an avalanche Tuesday evening while he was snowmachining in the Unalaska Valley.
Trey Henning, 21, was buried in the avalanche and later recovered from the site near the quarry on Overland Drive. In a statement, the Unalaska Department of Public Safety said life-saving measures were unsuccessful.
"CPR was initiated and other life-saving measures were taken both on the scene and throughout his extrication from the mountain," said the statement. "Henning was taken to the Unalaska clinic for continued care. After exhausting all efforts to revive him, he was pronounced deceased at 1858 hours."
Today as never before we need to comprehend the course, logic, and path of the process of history. Every day we need to make decisions that will affect future generations. It has become obvious that no single nation, confession, social class or even civilization can solve these problems on its own. We increasingly have to listen to one another: Europe and Asia, Christians and Muslims, White and Black peoples, citizens of modern democratic states and places where traditional society survives. The key is to understand one another correctly, avoid hasty conclusions, and acquire the true spirit of tolerance and respect toward those with different value systems, habits, and norms.
