Good Afternoon everyone. The arctic front is working through the state very quickly and should exit eastern Kentucky by sundown. Temps are dropping into the 20s behind the front as rain changes to snow and winds gust to 30-40mph at times.
I have no changes to the forecast. Watch radar begin to light up with a band of snow developing behind the arctic front. The heaviest snow will be across central and eastern parts of the state. This may cause white out conditions at times and travel conditions will go downhill quickly.
Once the main snow batch works through your area… there will be a small break before widespread snow showers and squalls kick in later today and this action carries us into early Friday. These will also create hazardous travel conditions.
As expected… the Winter Weather Advisory is now out for the entire state.
Keep posting the weather conditions where you live and I will have more updates as the day goes on. I will also keep blowing up your twitter timeline. 
Have a great afternoon and take care.
Just raining here at the moment, looks whitish like snow, but its not. School is not dismissing early at this time.
snowing nicely in Louisville, east end near Jeff/Old co line. Winds are blowing snow sideways as it falls, & already making the ground turn a coating of white.
Thanks Chris! Looking forward to snow here in Lex!
Hey Chris,
What about Wolfe County, the city of Campton, what amounts of snow should we expect?
The snow has stopped here in Owensboro. Wind chill is 19. Hope there is more snow to come.
Wind starting to pickup in Frankfort area, the artic front is here.
Breeze definitely feels cooler than it did at 11 today in Corbin
You are the best Met around Chris! Can’t wait for the snow to start in Madison County. Been a faithful reader since your days at WKYT.
Any idea when this fronts line will come through Rockcastle Co.? Hope its not before 4:30 pm!
Thanks, Chris. You have faithful follwers in the Corbin School system. Especially on the south side of town.
I heard McCreary co. schools got out around noon in anticipation of the storm… hmm…

Rain has fully changed over to snow here in Wilmore, KY.

NWS in Louisville downplaying this event for most of KY???
Some areas will likely receive about a dusting of snow at most, up to 1-2
inches in spots where snow showers train over the same areas – wide
variability will occur over counties.
Well, it is now 32 so the temp dropped drastically in northwest Lex & it snowed pretty hard for 20 min’s or so………but now it’s totally stopped & I see nothing on radar. I hope that it does fill back in…….
Keep me posted on snow totals, guys! Will drive up from BG anywhere with at least 2″ on the ground that’s within a couple hours driving distance…
Why?
it’s not bad here moderate snow and the ground is almost covered. we’re going to do ok.
POURING and windy in Corbin.
Hey guys! Keep me posted on snow totals throughout the area. Will drive up from BG anywhere with at least 2″ on the ground that’s within a couple hours driving distance…
snow flakes are now in Winchester:)
Heavy snow band came through Shelbyville and put down a quick dusting to half an inch about an hour ago. The winds really picked up creating whiteout conditions. The snow has stopped for now but its really cold out.
front just now blowing thru barbourville, with gusty winds temp. dropped 10 degrees in minutes ! sleet/rain falling
snow/rain and WINDY in south corbin
I know a lot of folks are hoping for snow out of this, but from where I sit in Woodford County, this system isn’t doing much for me. That big donut hole on the radar tells me there won’t be any real snow until late tonight, and it’s not looking like much to me right now…maybe a coating to an inch.
The radar has that dreaded snow dome look about it for central KY
Its been snowing crazy off and on here in Elizabethtown since noon. We even had little ice pellets for about 15 mins around 1:00pm.
Right now it is 29 at my house in Shelbyville with light snow falling. There is .25 in of snow on my back deck. I’m hoping we can make it to an inch before this one is over.
about 1/2 inch here in dayton, coming down nicely! i bet we can do a lil over an inch by the time its over!
Hey Tommy, that Jan 2 snow gave us over 2″ here in Xenia Township!! Ain’t it a shame we had to move to Ohio to get snow!!!Be careful out there, we prob have almost an inch now and it’s very blowy, and hard to see.
37 degrees in london and dropping
It has been snowing for about an hour here in Park City. Roads are just wet right now, but I’m sure that’ll change soon. At least Barren County schools are out, and kids will be home before the worst comes.
Light to moderate snow in London and windy.
School out at 2 and snow started falling at 4:20 here in Irvine.
Radar looks like snow is further south than expected. Uh oh.
The temperature has dropped to 27 in Shelbyville and the snow is starting to pick up again.
Here in Letcher County it’s 51 and sunny
Thanks for all you do for us Chris, Currently 50 degrees and cloudy, very breezy here in Floyd county. wind making it feel much colder though, looking forward to the snow later this afternoon and tonight. Every one be safe and use caution out there especially after dark. Enjoy the snow everybody!

my deck railing is good and white now…and a nice sheet of white on the deck itself
I have as much now as what we had what…a week ago
lt to mod snow showers moving back in the Louisville metro. This will be sticking to untreated area roadways now that we are approaching nightfall. Still looking for at least another 1/2″.
At 5:15 the temperature has dropped to 25 in Shelbyville. It’s been snowing off and on for the past hour and now we have over 1/2″ of snow. Ice is forming on my driveway but the roads are still wet.
33.7 degrees in southern laurel county and moderate snow
Snowing in Laurel County
checkin in aint doing nothing in GUNCHESTER, well i mean to speak of.
Snow has picked up here in Rockcastle just a dusting so far but looking at the radar and out my window I am starting to believe a couple of inches may be possible,
I think this is the first time I have seen a snow event WITHOUT CB’s 1st call for snow maps! Is it me, or does it just seem bare without them?
I think he said he wasn’t going to put up a map because it would be hard to call who would get how much and where with this type of system.
Its raining hard in Paintsville and still 46 degrees….hoping all the rain won’t hinder our snow chances! We had lightening, thunder and strong wind about 30 minutes ago.
Snowing pretty hard in Morehead right now, large flakes, and it’s blowing around fairly decently. guess I need to leave work before the roads turn to ice too fast…
Rain switched to ice and the temperature dropped from 53* to 38* in 10 minutes in Harlan! It was freaky!
Snowing in Clay County!!!!!!!!!
Nice dusting here in Frankfort, snow coming down good at the moment
Spoke to my sister in Indy 19 and about an inch of snow,not much going on yet in Pikeville.Just saw Chris and Tony on Wsaz what a team!!!!!
