Good Wednesday, everyone. Old Man Winter is about ready to press into the bluegrass state with arctic cold temps and our first widespread snowfall of the season. This will be complete with some slick roads and likely school delays and cancellations.

MUCH colder air continues to press into the region today as temps drop into the upper 20s and low 30s early on. A passing snowflake is possible, and I can’t rule out a slick spot as wet roads may ice up in some areas.

The fun begins on Thursday as light to moderate snow races in here through the day and takes us into early Friday. This is not a huge snowfall, but will cause roads to become slick or even snow-covered at times. Here’s my New Call For Snowfall…

Don’t always just look at the high number and assume every area maxes out. I’m talking in general terms. Southern and southwestern parts of the state are the enigma of this forecast for me.

The stronger that thing gets, the better the chance it has of coming a little farther west and north. The European then takes that thing up the east coast as a snowstorm.

Regardless, frigid temps are in store for the weekend into Monday. I’ve noticed the GFS is finally spitting out single digits for our region. Fashionably late to the party, I see. πŸ˜‰

The Canadian may be too extreme with the cold, but dang…

I will shoot you some updates later today. Make it a good one and take care.
