- Louisville officials reported a second cold-exposure death, and the Jefferson County Coroner previously ruled that 56-year-old Ricky Marshall died of hypothermia.
- Beshear said a homeless person’s death in Louisville this week has not yet been processed into the statewide tally.
- The storm struck Jan. 23–26 with heavy snow, significant ice, and bitter cold, and Beshear noted some parts of Kentucky have recorded up to 26 inches of snow this winter.
- Beshear voiced disappointment with Lexington’s snow response and said the state is assisting and offering guidance to update the city’s removal plan.
