A weather system originating out of the central Plains brought several inches of snow to portions of central and southern Kentucky. A swath of 3 to 4 inches, locally 5 in spots, fell across western to south-central Kentucky. The timing during the morning commute impacted many people and many schools and businesses were closed for the day. An Arctic air mass ahead of this system resulted in very cold road temperatures, so the snow quickly accumulated once it began to fall. This resulted in hazardous and difficult driving conditions.
