A moist 500 mb shortwave trough tracked east from the Plains, causing a surface low pressure center to develop northeast from Texas to the central Appalachians. Widespread wintry precipitation occurred as colder air filtered south on the back side of the low. Along and northwest of a line from Mayfield to Madisonville, one-tenth to one-quarter of an inch of ice glazed surfaces. Near the onset of precipitation, a period of sleet was reported. Most of the precipitation fell in the form of freezing rain. The automated observing station at the Paducah airport measured 0.23 inch of ice accretion. Most of the icing was on trees, power lines, and elevated surfaces during the precipitation. There were some small tree limbs broken in the Paducah area. After the precipitation ended, temperatures fell through the 20's, causing icy spots to develop even on paved surfaces. Slick bridges and overpasses were common during the early morning hours, along with many vehicle accidents. State police reported 46 accidents in northwest Kentucky, including 21 in Daviess County alone. Multiple crashes took place on Interstate 24 over the Cumberland River, which separates Lyon and Livingston Counties. Westbound traffic was backed up for several hours. A semi overturned on the icy bridge, and another semi crashed in the median just west of the bridge in Livingston County. At least one other passenger vehicle also crashed.
