Good Thursday, folks. Our wicked stretch of wintry weather is coming to an end. We’ve had snow on 7 of the past 8 days here in the bluegrass state. Temps have been running WELL below normal during this time. All of this has had fans of spring nearing the ledge.
Hang tough… we have a nice little burst of milder air moving in for the upcoming weekend.
Temps today will still be cold with highs in the upper 30s and low 40s as skies become partly sunny. Friday looks even better with temps nearing 50 for many areas as the sunshine continues.
That brings us to Saturday and Sunday and a run into the 60s…
Those are the numbers from the GFS and they may be running a touch too cool. Skies both days will feature some sunshine, but clouds will be increasing later Sunday and there’s the chance for a shower by evening.
That shower chance will increase Sunday night and Monday as a storm system works across the Ohio Valley. This may bring some heavy rain and a rumble of thunder our way.
Much colder air will then work in behind that system for Tuesday and Wednesday as we go back into a colder than normal pattern.
On a weather related note… Need to buy a weather radio or need to have one programmed? Come by Kroger on North Main Street in London today from 5-7pm. I will be joining the folks from the National Weather Service in Jackson to help you out. Stop in and say hi.
Have a great day and take care.
Oh, spring! Where art thou? We are ready for you!!
Well since nobody made it to the mid to lower 20s that means it will be warmer today
Well its not getting warmer dadgum it
Not sure what part of the state received snow 7 of 8 days, but it wasn’t Morgan County. Plenty of film crews including the Wearher Channel can back that one up and have it NOT caught on tape.
Leslie County, total of 4-7 inches so far this past 7 days..topped off with glaze of ice this morning after freezing rain during the overnight hours….still 1-3 inches on the ground, in the valleys, the southern end of the county even more
Chris should have had a “I love the 30′s” pic ready to post to reflect the weather we’ve had lately…
I have decided to branch out into spring and summer. Instead of the Snow Dome theme, I will be going with the Skeeter Trap
Thanks Jeff for inspiring me!
Maybe you will post something more original and thought provoking than the various degrees of “meh”.

Mehsquitoes
Snow in Kentucky 7 of the last 8 days? That’s a bold statement. Maybe 2 out of the last 8 days here in louisville.
but as Chris would say the world isn’t your backyard
although i do understand where your comming from and i’m sure somebody will call you or us haters 
No, just bitter armchair weathercasters.
Jeff, I ain’t bitter…..just disappointed. But since the time is about to spring forward, the temps might as well go along, right?
Don’t worry Coffeelady, I refer not to people like you, who bring a bright presence to the comments section of each blog. Your comments are indeed always positive and never thinly veiled potshots at CB.
Let he who hath noth forecasteth, cast the first snowball!!
Well, I have observed snow in Lawrenceburg (50 miles from Louisville) on February 28, March 1, 2, 3 (nothing on March 4), March 5, 6, and it is lightly snowing here on March 7. So, I think Chris’ statement that some places in Kentucky have seen snow 7 of the last 8 days is entirely accurate. I happen to be one of those places. Of course, I’ve had a grand total of 3 inches in all that, but still…
I love spring and summer time
I will be glad when spring decides to show up and stay for more than two or three days. Good thing is that not so accuweather and the weather channel has brought next weeks temps up a little closer to normal. Was showing some 40′s for the middle of next week, but everything is in the 50′s now. I can deal with that. Just a little over 1 inch total snow here in Knox this year, so ready for this pretend winter to leave.
The winner and STILL undefeated champ in the tri-state area….. The DOME!!!
March sun is ready to roar, even with cloudy sky’s and temps in the 30s the snow is melting fast in Frankfort, looking forward to a warm weekend!
Thanks, Chris. The weekend sounds wonderful. Since we can’t get any real measureable snow, I will take spring and the spring temps!
By the way, we got about half an inch of snow at my house….;( oh well, bring on spring!
The Kitty Cats have somehow erased all my good feelings from last year. Billy G teams would beat this one. Seems they are battling just to make the NIT now- jeepers.
Kentucky winter verses Kitty Cats… Kentucky winter is less depressing.
And now the starting lineup for your Kentucky Meh-cats!
Now you got me saying it!
