Event narrative (NOAA)
Very slowly subsiding northwest winds remained strong enough to cause significant drifting snow and areas of very low visibilities in blowing snow through the night of December 27th. Travel remained difficult and hazardous, and wind chills were around zero at times. A vehicle driven by a 69 year old Lake Shetek woman slid off a road near her home on the night of December 27th. The woman was later found dead by a snowplow driver some distance from the vehicle, and ii was determined that she died after attempting to walk to a highway from her vehicle.
