| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A slow moving coastal storm and a prolong period of easterly wind aloft, gave northeast Kentucky several periods of snow and sleet. The end result was widespread snow depths of over one foot. No snow was on the ground prior to the storm. Maximum snow depths on the 6th were Olive Hill of Carter County with 18 inches, Warnock of Greenup County 16 to 18 inches, Grayson of Carter County 15 to 17 inches, South Shore of Greenup County 16 inches, Louisa of Lawrence County 14 inches. Ashland of Boyd County had less snow, with 8 inches on the ground. Many large tree branches fell, causing power outages. The most destructive period of heavy wet snow was from 2200 EST on the 3rd to around 0900 EST on the 4th. During that period, 5 to 10 inches of snow fell. Another significant period of snow occurred late on the 5th to near dawn on the 6th.Debris removal from the 4 counties was estimated at $20,000 by state officials. A roof to a small grocery store in Olive Hill collapsed under the weight of the snow. A large storage building in Coalton of western Boyd County also caved in. One indirect death was an elderly man that died while shovelling snow off his mobile home roof in Wurtland of Greenup County. |
