Winter Storm Update
Good evening everyone. It is game on for our winter storm and it's good to see everybody else jumping on the snow train. Winter storm warnings have been extended farther west as we suspected and for good reason. The New runs of the GFS and NAM are both much wetter and farther west and match up nicely with our snowfall forecast which will remain the same...
Far southeastern Kentucky will see more than a foot of snow out of this! Snowfall rates of greater than 2" per hour will be possible this evening through the overnight. Looking at the dynamics... I wonder if someone can hear a rumble of thunder across the south or east!!! Wow!
Here is a radar to track the snows...
Current Temps
Web cams from across the region that I hope update....
Help us out by continuing to posting the weather where you are. I will have more updates through the evening so check back. Take care.

Snow is laying on the ground on Island Creek close to Pikeville. The temperature dropped quick. Luckily, kids from school got home just before all of this started. Can't wait to break out the new sled that I have had for a couple of years now.

Snow covered roads in Corbin with the snow still falling. I'm terrible with measurements, but I would say a couple of inches thus far. The snow was mixed with sleet for a while, but now seems to be all snow again.

First off...get the little Trolls offa the board. I'm ready to hand out the spankin's!
Half hour ago, I was thinking, "this isn't lookin' so great...it's moving back East"....?! THEN...NOW...??!-
Snow is building back in towards me...3 counties away...ok..4...sorry...
I can STILL see this thing moving more westerly as the night plays out....?! Any comments (Aye or Nay) are welcomed!

Ah, Rolo, that just weather. I have no explanation for it. It was getting with it at 4:30 p.m., heavy snow and 34, and the temp. actually went down, and it switched to rain. Don't understand it.

2 inches of snow and still snowing at Dorton in Pike county.

Since the LOW obviously is WELL east of us, aren't we on the cold side of this storm? Where is the cold air? Are we waiting for a cold front to pass? Don't the fronts come from the west? The snow line is heading from the east to the west SLOWLY

I'm SOO confused! Not to look like an idiot to you guys who know much more than I do about how the atomosphere works, but are we waiting for a front to come through for the temps to drop somewhat? It looks as if the cold is working from the east to west? Or is there no front at all and we are just waiting for dynamic cooling?
Reply to this
Rain at my house in northern clay. The radar is still showing snow though. I figure it will change back soon. If not, I guess I'll still be disappointed.
Reply to this
I'm beginning to think the word "disappointed" might just be what we're looking at....

This system sure is taking its sweet time working back west as all we have here in Richmond is cold rain....again. How can the cold air be south and east of us...doesn't make sense

Perhaps very large areas of warm loft air?
Let us be thankful the surface temps are not below freezing or this could be Ice Storm II The not wanted sequel.

No such thing. She got that from the things in the upper right corner of the screen on 18, 27 and 36. They all put up the most serious condition in their viewing area, which includes many counties that are under the warning. Then the stations will run a crawl to address Lex metro. Crawls all say WWA.

Aint one. We have one of them there "Winter Advisories". Based on current results, might be the correct call

Steady rain with SLEET BALLS & a wee bit of "flurrying" here in Bardstown @ a temp of 37°...that snow line is still digging in from the E/SE, still coming from the NW out of IL, and now I see something building from the NE out of OH...

I'm afraid to go look outside now. I don't want to see rain! Just north of Hazard. I had to go out and sweep snow off my satellite a little while ago, and it was snow.

Pouring the snow now in Pikeville temp 33,its so pretty

What disappointment!!! Was watching the most beautiful snow flakes earlier and now all rain. So bummed. Will it turn back to snow in the Corbin area? Please, someone who knows enlighten me.

still snowing here in Barbourville, it has been ALL SNOW SINCE AROUND 3..or so...

out of town 4" easy with maybe 5" in spots roads are snowcovered, just took alittle drive around the county to see..winter wonderland to say the least...

Oh well. Long day for me,and I have to get up early for a trip to Louisville. Still in awe at how this thing held so much promise then busted big time for *some* of us.
Reply to this
Love how everyone is just freaking out about the rain and calling it a bust. It was suppose to start as rain and then change over to snow during the evening. It is just now evening and there is a lot of moisture and the upper-level system moving into the area. It will snow all night and everyone will wake up happy.
Rolo...its called karma. Calm down, be positive and it will go back to snow.
Reply to this
it changed to snow for hour and half snow, went back rain that wasnt forxasted.
Reply to this
Yes, true- but without the snow then rain where Rolo lives, we would not have the Rolo-coaster!
Rolo, you crack me up! Again let us all be thankful the surface temps are above freezing. We would be dead meat if not.
Reply to this
Last post for a while.
CB said it would be heavy snow and 1 to 2 inches an hour likely. If we do the math and look at the snowfall forecast, it will only take a few hours of snow action to meet and even perhaps beat the snow map CB posted.
BTW: My family saw Transiberian Orchestra at Rupp last night. Two and a half hours of pure greatness
We are going again when they come back in the Spring for a new non-Christmas theme tour.

That being said on all fronts weather, is it me, or does it look like the system is breaking up to the south? This could damage my attempt at rationalizing......

I, too, went into "moderation", so will say again..
If it's any consolation to anyone..I live in Bardstown...the "Land of Ice/Nada"...moderate rain w/ sleet balls and SOME lt. snow starting to mix in @ 36°....
I keep looking @ this thing and it still looks like....
E/SE flow of precip coming farther West...
NW flow of precip out of IL coming at us...
A little something-something coming now out of mid-OH to the S/SW....
Suddenly, I want a SAMMICH!

Back to a steady rain after laying an inch here in Salyersville. Wasn't it supposed to get colder as the night went on?
Reply to this
BIG FLAKES AGAIN LIKE EARLIER TODAY!!..gonna go check road conditions in the area, be back later...
Reply to this
So much for dynamic cooling. How can forecasters not see WAA while making predictions? Isn't there a map for that? This is beyond ridiculous. I feel more comfortable when forecasters call for a dusting because that's when I feel we will get something. Always expect the opposite when it comes to Winter forecasting. Still rain in Prestonsburg.

The moisture system moving up from the south does not seem to have the same powwa' it had earlier. Perhaps it is just a lull and it will fill back up.

Ummm...look to the west. The precip is intensifying as the second system moves in. Lots of moisture for the cold air to work with.

Snowing heavy again in Corbin
Reply to this
Still moderate snow here in Barbourville. Luckily we didn't have the switch over to rain. If this thing stays snow then we will have a decent amount. Still think we will end up on the low end of the forecast though. I think it may really be a bust forecast for the ones that started snow and changed to rain. We have a 3 or 4 inch head start and I don't think there is enough moisture to catch up.

Reply to this
First to admit I am dumb, but if three to six inches is to fall in the general area, why "weather advisory" and not "storm warning"?
Seems wires are crossed or vastly differing forecast expectations by different weather entities.
BTW, the precip from the south does look like it is not as concentrated, so we will see lulls in whatever actually falls.
In Richmond's case- coooold chubby rain

Hey Rolo, Thats because I had a Christmas party to go to on Burning Springs. Rained while I was there and now that Im back home its pouring the snow!

Folks, I am not seeing the big snow heading this way, but do see intermittent bands perhaps will hit us. Unless it is going to build strength again it looks like it is breaking up to the south and moved faster than planned to out north east.
Almost looks like two systems are fighting over KY with neither winning the fight or helping each other.
My guess now is that some will get the snow map, but it will not be in the smooth map layout, but real spotty. Not long to find out.
If this one does not put the final nail in the proverbial coffin of future snow optimism. NOTHING will

Snowing more steadily in my corner of Barbourville. We never went to rain, but the snow really slowed after that burst of jumbo flakes earlier. Then, about an hour ago, the bigger flakes returned. I'm seeing only 1 1/2 inches or so at this point, but I almost wonder if the snow is so wet and heavy that it's hard to judge amounts.
The radar kinda looks like it may change to rain here before long, or could be that I'm not reading it correctly.

No kidding. I had to go there during the first burst of big flakes. All I needed was laundry detergent, but I got tempted by the snow boots so I'd have something warm to walk the dog in while we have actual, real, live snow on the ground. And do ya know...those darn things aren't even waterproof. I put them on, walked the dog, came back and had to wring them out before I put them away. You get what you pay for, I guess.

Only in KY do we get forecasted 6-12 inches of snow and in reality get a 32 degree rain. It's just not meant to be folks. Clippers are all this state has to cling their snow hopes on anymore.
Reply to this
Are you in an area that was forecasted to get that much snow and are just getting rain? Most of the reports I've seen show those areas are getting in on it???
Reply to this
OMG BUBBA
You're RIGHT.......EXCLUDING clippers, >33=rain <32=dry! LOL......My dad had the audacity to TEXT me earlier and told me it was snowing at 2 inches per hour in Brevard, NC. He says he guestimates 8to10 inches have fallen there but it's stopped now. That's the largest snowfall for that area (for DEC) since 1971! (per local news) He said this is the biggest snow they have had in YEARS! Growing up I NEVER remember having any decent snow in DEC! The big ones always came Jan/Feb/Mar I'm so jealous I'm not back home at the moment
Reply to this
Yep, for some reason, central KY has become the winter weather transitional area- aka fence, dome, anti-snow zone, Bermuda snow triangle, no-snow zone, flake free, etc.
11 years and counting

Still snowing pretty hard in Perry County, just north of Hazard.

Think it's time for an updated forecast because they missed this one tonight. wonder what's causing this to be so much more warmer than they thought? cant get it right all the time weatherman. My friends in Kingsport, Tn say they got 6" and the power is flickering on and off.
Reply to this
Well, the NAM and GFS both showed temps. above freezing at the surface all night long...so if "they" thought it was going to be a lot colder than this...then somebody misread the modeling.
Reply to this
Well, I'm 10 miles south of Frankfort and 20 miles west of Lexington...and the temp here just went UP two-tenths of a degree in the past 15 mins.
Perhaps my thoughts from earlier today were correct...the official/media predicted snow amounts are going to be WAY off.
Reply to this
well they sure didn't miss it here...we've got about 5 in. and still snowing hard!!!!
Reply to this
I called LMK and they said reports around the LEX area have been 31-35 degrees. I guess people have faulty home weather stations...because it's not that cold. 37 at my house in Lawrenceburg....ALL mesonet sites around me are at 37 including LEX...and it's holding steady. Plain rain, no snow mixing in.

And no updates from any of the mets or from the NWS. You have to think there will be some big time revisions to some of the forecasts around the area (London-Corbin and points west). At this point..a slushy inch or so looks about right for southern KY.
Reply to this
Spin city now
Some areas DID get the snow
If anyone even pretends to know what the next system will do, I will laugh in their general direction
DO NOT BELIEVE IT UNTIL IT IS ACTUALLY FALLING AND UP TO YOUR SHINS. Nothing less will do
There will still be some heavy bands tonight and some will get decent snow, but the current maps and outlooks are extreme now- it would seem.

Kind of "same old song" since this was to be a winter storm warning and now a sporadic "advisory" but that is what the alert has been since this afternoon.
I really though this was the one. if this does not suck the life out of eternal optimism, I do not know what will.
Looks like it is a lot more spotty for snow totals and not as broad and smooth a snow cover- makes sense based on the moisture not looking as concentrated coming from the south.
Still, the alerts seem contradictory- outlooks showing several or more inches, but just an advisory?? Sounds like people were hedging their bets
Reply to this
It's still snowing lightly and steadily in Barbourville. Is it possible it will turn to rain tonight and wash everything away? The acuweather radar is hard for me to read at the moment. It looks as if rain is moving in, and there's this now-you-see-it-now-you-don't pink spot that comes and goes over Knox county.
Reply to this
the radar is an approximation 3 different precip types radars in a set-up like this one will have all be different for you location one rain another snow and the final one a mix. i doubt you will switch back to rain.

the 540 thickness value is one of the measures used by forecasters to determine rain vs snow, over 540- rain or ice under 540- snow. It generally is a good rule of thumb in the wintertime.

Reply to this
Several of you are so disappointed, do you really want 6, 8, 10 inches of heavy wet snow that in all likelihood would result in you losing power for a day or two?? The ones with 5,6 in. of snow have already said their power was flickering.. I believe i'll take the rain so I can enjoy a weekend of watching the cats play and NFL.. and of course a warm bed.
Reply to this
When was the last time we actually had a forecast for snow in the LEX area actually pan out? I mean 99 times out of 100 we either get way less than predicted or more often nothing at all. When was the last time we were predicted to get several inches of snow and got a nice surprise from an over-achiever. I guess we still have to go back to 1998, cause it doesn't appear it will ever happen again...
Reply to this
I used to live in London, Ky. Moved to Sevier Co. Tn and figured I wouldn't see much snow here. We had about 2 inches of wet snow today, and the temp is holding at 32F. While it was snowing here, it was raining further north. My elevation is only about 1100ft, so I'm really puzzled why it snowed this far south, and rained further north. STRANGE! We also had about 1.4 inches of rain before the snow fell.
Oh well, just thought I'd drop a line to my fellow Kentuckians. Maybe someday I'll come home, but I think I'd rather move over to North Carolina. They seem to get the "big ones" any more when it comes to snow.
Ya'll have a good night, and Merry Christmas!!!!

Well, nothing here in Somerset at the moment. Michael S, I have not seen any rain, but our snow has stopped,too, at this point.
I do see that the forecast is saying that snow will develop more overnight, so there is still a chance. We have about an inch right now, but it has melted off the roads, and they are just wet right now. Temp goes below freezing and all side roads are gonna get slick.
Hope Chris updates soon. I am sure he will give some insight. He always does.

Thank you for the blog. I work at WKCB radio in Hindman. I live in southern Knott county near the Letcher county line and we have nearly 4" of snow and it's still coming down. Thanks to your blog, our listeners got a heads up on this storm well before the NWS mentioned it. The last few days we have talked on air about your informative web site. A lot of people were better prepared for this storm due to the info from your blog. Thanks again.

I appreciate MJ chiming in with a great explanation about what is happening. I actually checked out CB’s blog a bit ago and got a kick out of everyone jumping off ship totally since we haven’t seen a changeover to snow here in Lexington…and it has gone back to rain in spots down south.
The funny thing is…it was never supposed to change over here in the bluegrass until mid to late evening at the earliest…and the main kicker for our snow here in Lexington is the upper level support coming overnight…so the bottom line is patience people. The game isn’t even to half time yet!!!
These totals we kick out are for the ENTIRE deal…through SATURDAY…not Friday evening…so for folks on here (and those on CB’s blog if someone wants to pass it along)…chill out and wait until later Saturday until you give up and call it a bust.
More to come!
