Bitterly cold temperatures arrived in the wake of a paralyzing snowstorm. This arctic outbreak resulted in burst pipes, dead car batteries, and many inconveniences. Two pipes burst in the Lyon County courthouse, flooding the building with three inches of water. Two water main breaks were reported in Dawson Springs, a small town near the Hopkins and Caldwell County line. A record low temperature of 8 degrees below zero was set at Paducah on Christmas morning. This was the coldest temperature at Paducah since January of 1994. The Henderson co-operative observer measured a low of 12 below zero on Christmas. Winds were light during the coldest weather, reducing the wind chill hazard somewhat.
