A low pressure system developed over the central Gulf coast, then moved northeast across the Tennessee Valley. This surface low produced light to moderate accumulations of snow early in the morning. Following the surface low, an intensifying upper level low produced a more significant round of heavy snow during the late afternoon and nighttime hours. Four to eight inches of snow fell along and southeast of a line from Morganfield (Union County) through Princeton (Caldwell County) and Benton (Marshall County) to Murray (Calloway County). The highest amounts of 6 to 8 inches were over the Pennyrile region, including Owensboro, Henderson, Madisonville, and Hopkinsville. Isolated amounts to 10 inches were reported in Muhlenberg County. Gusty winds caused by a strong pressure gradient between the surface low and arctic high pressure over the upper Mississippi Valley caused blowing and drifting snow. Visibility was below one-quarter mile at times. Roads became snow-covered and very slippery, and a number of accidents occurred. A major wreck involved two tractor-trailer rigs on the Pennyrile Parkway in Henderson County. Three people were injured, none seriously. The northbound lanes of the parkway were shut down. About a dozen other accidents were reported in Henderson County. Drifts were commonly measured around one foot deep, with isolated reports of 2-foot drifts. Schools were closed.
