1 winter weather. Local standard time, as filed.
Freezing drizzle spreading across the area resulted in slick conditions. A woman going out to get her mail at her home, approximately 5 miles east-southeast of Esbon, slipped on ice, fell and later died. The exact time of her fall is unknown.
As the offices recorded each death: direct deaths were caused by the weather itself, indirect ones by something it set in motion.
