An initial round of light snow impacted far west Kentucky during the early morning hours on the 17th. After a lull, snow spread northeastward from Tennessee and Arkansas during the late afternoon and early evening hours. The most concentrated area of snow occurred across western Kentucky during the evening and overnight hours. The last snow band pivoted across the region during the morning of the 18th. Snowfall totals ranged from 2 to 4 for this event. The highest totals of 3 to 4 inches were primarily southeast of a line from Paducah to Owensboro. With temperatures well below freezing, snow quickly accumulated on roads and created treacherous travel conditions from the evening of the 17th through the morning of the 18th. The official snowfall total in Paducah was 1.9. February 18th marked the 5th consecutive day with measurable snow (0.1 or greater) in Paducah. This tied the record of 5 days set back on March 7-11, 1960. Following on the heels of a major winter storm on the 15th, a mid level short wave shifted eastward into the Plains as surface low pressure lifted east northeast out of the northern Gulf and into the southeastern part of the country. Plenty of cold air remained in place for the precipitation type to be all snow with this system.
