What happened

The episode as NWS PAH wrote it up.

One to three inches of snow fell across southern portions of western Kentucky, mainly south of a line from Paducah to Madisonville. An isolated 4-inch snow amount was recorded in southern Graves County. Three inches of snow fell in Fulton. Elsewhere, two inches was reported in Benton, Clinton, Eddyville, Hopkinsville, Mayfield, and Murray. An inch fell in Elkton. Roads were snow or slush-covered. Two weather-related traffic fatalities occurred (indirect fatalities). An elderly woman was killed in a wreck along the Tennessee state line at Fulton. Her vehicle struck a concrete culvert and a gas meter on East State Line Road. A 63-year-old man died in a wreck on the Purchase Parkway about 3 miles west of Mayfield. His pickup truck skidded into the median and overturned, ejecting him. Southbound lanes of the parkway were closed for about two hours.
