One of the earliest winter precipitation events on record caused hazardous conditions across western Kentucky. At Paducah, this was the 2nd earliest snowfall of at least one inch in records going back to 1937. The wintry mix of precipitation was mostly in the form of freezing rain in the Pennyrile region, where around one-quarter inch of ice glazed exposed surfaces. There were some power outages caused by downed tree limbs in Muhlenberg, Christian, Todd, and Daviess Counties. Several trees were down in the Owensboro area, including two on homes. Two poles caught fire. In Todd County, 1820 customers were without power. In Christian County, tree limbs were down on power lines, and a tree blocked a road. Further west, the precipitation was mostly in the form of sleet and snow. One to two inches of snow was reported from Marion to Murray westward across Paducah and Mayfield. Specific snowfall totals included 2 inches in Paducah and Fulton, and 1 inch at Murray and Eddyville. There was some sleet mixed with the snow. Roads were snow or ice-covered across the region. Highway 68 in Trigg County was reported to be a sheet of ice, causing vehicle accidents. Numerous accidents were reported in Calloway County, with several slide-offs on Highway 80.  The winter precipitation was caused by a strong 500 mb low that moved northeast from Arkansas to the lower Ohio Valley. At the surface, an inverted trough extended from the southeastern states northwest to the lower Ohio Valley.
