The snow fell with temperatures in the teens to low 20s for most locations resulting in a powdery snow. Snowfall amounts of 8 to 12" were common across eastern Kentucky, with a stripe of 12 to 18" across the heart of central and eastern Kentucky. For many areas, this was the most snow received in over a decade. A period of sleet and freezing rain mixing in with the snow cut into the snowfall amounts along the Tennessee border where 4 to 8" of snow was the rule.
