Event narrative (NOAA)
Accumulations of about one half inch of sleet fell across the county, but light snow and freezing rain also fell. Area roads were covered by the sleet and glaze of ice. A 32-year old man who was walking home during the winter storm was later found to have died from hypothermia near South Delta Elementary School. Temperatures below freezing and wind chills as low as -10 degrees Fahrenheit occurred during and after the winter storm.
