6) ICEBOX 1994 Jan. including a Jan Snowstorm- An intense winter storm hit right before the Ice Storm of 1994. This storm produce 6-11 inches plus along with some ice even though the icing wasn't as bad as Feb. Jan icing on top of 5 to 11 inches of snow made travel pretty much impossible. Near Blizzard conditions occurred in West KY and parts of TN. The Governor of KY at the time closed all interstates and US highways for the first time in KY history.
The big major event was the worst Cold Snap in our lifes as 08'ers and if you were around in 60's and 70's maybe close 2nd worst cold snap. Lows were as low as believe this right here in West KY up towards -22F on Jan 19th-20th 1994. A low of -1 was recorded in Nashville TN with near Zero temps as far south as the TN/AL border. This cold snap even caused a slab to fall down in Mammoth Caves which is one of the most geologically altering events in the cave in hundreds of years. Lows include
HENDERSON KY/ -22F Jan 19th 1994. HOPKINSVILLE KY/ -12F Jan 19th 1994 NASHVILLE TN/ -1F Jan 19th-20th 1994.
