The first blast of winter weather followed a strong cold front that swept rapidly east across the Mississippi and Lower Ohio Valleys. Behind the front, widespread snow showers and very windy conditions produced difficult travel conditions. Northwest winds ranged from 20 to 30 mph with higher gusts. Snow accumulated from one to three inches across western Kentucky. The lowest amounts were an inch or less near the Mississippi River, including the cities of Bardwell and Hickman. Widespread amounts from 2 to 3 inches covered the remainder of western Kentucky. The snow came down rather heavily at times for a couple hours, reducing visibility to around one-half mile. Numerous accidents were reported around the region, including an overturned vehicle on the Interstate 24 bridge over the Tennessee River. Strong winds caused blowing and drifting that produced slippery spots well after the snow ended.
