| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An "Alberta Clipper" type of low pressure system produced around 4 inches of snow across northwest Kentucky, primarily the Henderson and Owensboro area. Specific snowfall amounts included 4 inches at Henderson, 5 inches at Owensboro, and 3 inches in Webster County, just southwest of Henderson. One traffic fatality was blamed on the slippery roads. A one-car accident on the Western Kentucky Parkway, four miles east of the Kentucky State Police post in Hopkins County, claimed the life of a 35-year-old man. An accident involving a tractor trailer rig closed the Pennyrile Parkway just south of Madisonville for several hours. In a six-county area affected by the snow, Kentucky State Police reported 43 accidents, none involving serious injuries. There were 38 other incidents where motorists simply ran off the road. |
