One to two inches of snow fell across western Kentucky. Most of the 2-inch amounts were along and east of the Pennyrile Parkway, including Hopkinsville, Madisonville, and Owensboro. Many secondary roads became slippery. Primary roads were mostly wet, but bridges and overpasses became icy. A few serious accidents occurred when vehicles encountered icy patches on main highways. On Interstate 24, two tractor-trailer rigs collided on the bridge over the Tennessee River. To avoid being struck by one of the trucks, a motorist who stopped to help the first trucker jumped off the bridge and was seriously injured. In Trigg County, a woman was killed (indirect weather fatality) in a rollover car accident on U.S. Highway 68 about a mile west of The Trace (Kentucky 453).  In Hopkinsville, a woman was critically injured when she was struck by a car while walking along the median of the Eagle Way By-Pass. She was out of her vehicle to check on a car that slid off the road.
