A strip of heavy snow spanning around 150 miles in length and 15 miles wide in some areas was seen laid across central Kansas the National Weather Service reports. 

The rare weather phenomenon took shape in the early hours of Tuesday morning and bridged from northern Kansas to as far south as El Dorado in the state's southern region.  

Weather officials said that parts of the snowband got up to 13 inches in places like Sylvan Grove, and around nine inches about 50 miles outside of Wichita. 

What makes the snowband so peculiar was that outside of its path, some surrounding areas received little to no snowfall whatsoever.

However, other cities like Dodge City and Great Bend received winter snow fall. 

As a result of the 'extremely narrow stripe,' traffic accidents and highway closures were experienced on Interstate 70 and I-135. 

Once skies cleared Wednesday, the snowband could be seen from space and photographed by satellite cameras.
