Four arctic weather-related deaths in Kentucky, including Marshall County

At least four people died in the commonwealth during last week's arctic weather, including one in Marshall County.
 
During a Team Kentucky update, Gov. Beshear said the Marshall County fatality occurred in a weather-related traffic accident. The other deaths took place in Logan, Montgomery, and Pulaski counties. No identities of the victims were mentioned in the update.

He added that two additional weather-related deaths await official confirmation.
 
On other topics, Beshear announced that the federal government has selected Kentucky for a nearly $36 million grant to ensure more children are ready for kindergarten by expanding early learning programs. 

The governor also announced that his State of the Commonwealth address will take place on Wednesday, Jan. 4 at 7 p.m.
