Hello everyone and thanks for dropping by the blog. I think the long hours I have put in during this busy winter are taking a toll on your friendly weather dude as I am a touch under the weather. No worries.. I am tough! Well… I tell myself that I am, anyway. 
So… let’s keep this update short and to the point.
Freezing drizzle and some snow are working across the state tonight and will continue into early Sunday. This will cause some nasty travel in some areas so be on the lookout. The best chance for a light accumulation of snow will be across the far eastern parts of the state. You can track the mess here…
The Lexington weather cam shows the icy glaze very well…
Lexington
Some snow showers or flurries will linger out there today… especially the farther east you are. Highs will again be well below normal in the middle 30s.
As of right now… the next storm system looks to brush the state by Tuesday and Wednesday as it takes a southern track. The models are VERY close to getting the upper air pattern more favorable to bring this storm northward and allowing it to have a much greater impact on the area. As is… the best chance for snow would be across the southeast. Here is what the NAM Model Shows…
Tuesday Evening
Tuesday Night
Wednesday Morning
We will see how the model trends go over the next few days as I would not be surprised to see a correction to the north. Time will tell.
Have a great Sunday and I will update as needed. Take care.

Thanks for the update Chris. Hope you feel better soon. Get some rest.
Thanks Chris. I think you should crawl into a warm bed and get some rest. That makes a body feel a lot better! Could maybe your “under the weather” feeling have anything do with our cats?
Thanks for the update Chris, I think you should take Patty’s advice and get some rest. I 2 am just getting over this bug that is going around, and rest seemed to help quite a bit. Hope you feel better soon dude!
Woke up this morning, got ready to take my wife to work, went out to warm up the car and BOOM. Down went Jimmie in Lexington. I thought things were wet due to rain. WRONG. Everything was covered with a thin layer of ice. Roads weren’t too bad, mainly wet. But there are slick spots in SE Lexington. Be careful out there weather bloggers.
Hope you feel better soon, Chris.
We had some hazardous travel conditions this morning, the ice was especially bad in the higher elevations. US 23 going up Pound Moutain and Payne Gap in Letcher Co into Virginia was in really rough shape with this ice. I finally managed to get to work and very nearly did what Jimmy in Lexington did. Slick as a gut on the walkway here at the station!
Hope you get to feeling better soon! Get some much needed rest.
“meteorologists SMACKDOWN” Just thought this story was funny!

I’ll stick to Chris as my #1 source for weather information.
I too am battling this bug going around. I havent been sick in at least 5 years, but when I do get sick, I go all the way… Take it easy, Chris, as this bug is no fun 🙁
Traveling was dangerous this morning as well in my area just within the area of my porch and steps though 😉
Looks like in terms of any significant snow, winter may be over for us in CKY…
Well next weeks storm continues to get shoved to the south of Ky.(not suprising). Not good if you want another snow..But on the other hand, the days are getting longer, time changes in 2 wks. and extended forecast looks like a SMALL light at the end of a long dark tunnel…lol..
Bad news – well snow lovers, we might not have any more big snows – the good news – there ai t gonna be no OLD SCHOOL storm, so hopefully Rolo will stick to his word and not post for a long while.
Thanks Chris for the update! I hope you recover from the “COLD BUG” and get to feeling much better. If your not allergic, I stand behind “Tylenol Flu” capsules 1000% if that is unavailable, “Tylenol Severe Cold” take as many as directed and in about 12 hours you will be sweating your butt off and then in 24 hrs you will feel like a new man! Only way you can get them is ask for them from behind any pharmacy, there no longer available over the counter, unfortunately.
I think our winter is coming to an end for CKY. I’m ready for warmer temps, cheaper electric bill and open windows (fresh air).
This is interesting..
306 earthquakes in the last 7 days is and averages 20 earthquakes 7.0+ everyday.

Rolo PLEASE don’t stop posting I love reading your comment this is your family here we would miss you if you don’t post no more.
marsha I like u too and u are correct this is MY FAMILY!!!. no worries cause we going get a foot of snow befopre its over in one setting.
thats my OLD SCHOOL a 12 plus inch snow in one storm.
still plenty of time for that.
I will wait to see what Chris says about next week…in his post he seemed to think it would trend our way,
and he knows what he is talking about. I refer to the fact that CB says NEVER to get caught up on one model run
and especially not from so far out.
I enjoy reading your posts, too. Don’t always agree with you,
but still enjoy reading them, just the same. 🙂
Chris get some rest and have plenty of chicken soup 7up and just plenty of fluids.Also if that doesn’t work have a hot tottie.I have had this too me and my husband.
Boyle County- Cloudy 38*

Will not be surprised to see some amount of severe T-storms south and southwest of Kentucky by next weekend or early next week. Maybe even some thunder rumbles in parts of Kentucky.
Get a room…
Rolo, you are part of the heartbeat of this blog- don’t even think of leaving.
Icy here this morning just north of Hazard.
I really hope beyond hope that we don’t ge any snow next week. Seems like S.E. Kentucky has had enough to last a few more years without getting any more.
Hope you feel better really soon, Chris.
Thanks for the update.
all a matter of opinion and what part of SE KY you are in
Forcast for Lex. next Sat. Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 47.
Hopefully that 47 will inch higher as the week goes on and we may have a beautiful weekend coming up. Would love to be able to do some outside work then.
What no rolo? Without him I wouldn’t be able to read Kentucky english. lol
Just joking rolo enjoy your posts.
It was Icy here in Floyd co. earlier this morn,but all it is doing now is just drizzling a little. The way it looks now we are going to miss out next week, was kinda hoping we would have one more big one. I am like rolo holding out for that old school storm, I believe we still may have a chance through the month of march, then I will be ready for spring. Don’t think I will ever be ready for the severe storms or flooding that spring brings, but what can you do?From other data that I have seen it is going to be an interesting spring.take care and have a good sun, everybody, (whats left of it)catch ya next update.
Baah, too early to start that upper 40’s and 50’s stuff. don’t want to have to start mowing too early. Keep the freakin warm air down south.
Average temps this time of year run in the upper 40s and low 50s, and those temps arent really all that warm.
Hope you feel better soon! AND I hope this snow moves out! I am ready for SPRING SPRING SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rolo there is still plenty of time for our big snow but if we don’t get it don’t you think about leaving this blog it would not be the same without you.
Noticed a lto of talk yeserday about UK. For all things UK a good website to visit is kentuckysportsradio.com
Yeah, I don’t want to start mowing early either.
There is a very fine snow/sleet coming down in Harlan right now, or at least in my part. It has started to coat the porch. And I agree with everyone about the mowing, but the thing I hate is weedeating.
the NAM stands for north american mesoscale right?
Sorry you are not feeling well, Chris. I really enjoy getting the automatic emails. I don’t hit the blog as much since it comes to my mailbox but want you to know I really appreciate what you do. I have people call me to ask about the forecast. I tell them about the blog but they just call. :)Thanks for all you do.
Got the same here in Pike county, glaze of ice on everything here.
Sound so super….
Hey – I am really delighted to find this. cool job!
