Good afternoon everyone and thanks for all you guys do for the blog. Snow showers and some squalls continue to fall across the state this afternoon and that will continue into the evening. Once the sun goes down… this stuff will start to stick again and will create slick travel. The greatest concentration of snows will be across the east and southeast. You can track the snows here… February 17.4” 1998 16.4” 1960 14.7” 1894 13.5” 1929 12.0” 1964
The overall forecast remains on course as more snows will be falling over the next several days. The map I put out last night looks good to me right now so I have no changes.
Lexington picked up 2 inches of snow last night bringing this month into record territory for snowfall. Here is the list of the top ten snowiest Februarys for Lexington…
11.9″ 2010
It is good to see this year sneaking up to number 6 on the list and I think it winds up in the top 3 or 4 before all is said and done. What is amazing to me is that one of my analog years for the winter forecast… 1963/64 is siting just above this February on that list. Maybe there is something to my analog methods after all. 
By the way… if Lexington receives 3 more inches of snow this winter… it will break into the top 10 snowiest on record. The city currently stands at 23.7″ for the winter. I would wager that we crack the top 10.
I will update things as needed so check back. Take care.

The snow came down fast and melted just as fast! I can’t believe the school systems here in the bluegrass didn’t consider a delay. I’m sure safety should be the first priority when it comes to our children.
Thanks for the update C.B.
partly sunny to cloudy with occasional flurries and snow showers thats the story of the day here. Most of the 2″ of snow that fell overnight into the morning hrs. has melted away in the sunny areas..
Thanks Chris for all you do.Snow still falling and blowing in Pikeville if it quits blowing we would really put some snow down.
Thanks Chris for the update! I’m like most, I’m ready for the warm temps. U-N-C-L-E!!! 😉
Bring on the thunderstorms!! 😀
I’ll take an order of sunshine, sunny side up. 2 wks. worth of dry weather and a cup of warm days and mild nights please, and thank you….:)
Thanks Chris for the update. Just about all of the snow is gone from this latest episode. My little dog is so confused about all this snow. He goes out and it’s all snow… then next time there is nothing. He just stands outside and looks back at me… funny.
snowiest on record here at CVG 24”, to think it all came in like one week is crazy, 35 or 36 inches on the season. the season avg here is about 26 i believe so snowier than average here for sure.
It seriously has been one heck of a winter. I’m just don’t want it to end without a bang 😉
No snow now in Clay County and we are having school tomorrow!!That’s the first time in a while that is has snowed one day and melted off completely the next. Chris, will we get anymore snow tonight?

every day is like De-ja-vu!!!…or groundhogs day (the movie) or something…
nothing on the ground or roads here the dusting just vanished a few flurries floating around
Between 5 and 6 pm here, it snowed while the sun was shining…very odd to see. One minute it was coming down so hard, it was really pretty. Then the next minute only flurries.
any gulf storms look to hammer ft thomas with 12”+ anytime soon??? 😀 i need pow 😀
you have had to much. you have become a junkie
Here in Floyd co. we had a decent snow last night, but it is all gone now. what do you guys think is coming our way for next week? wymt is only giving a 20% chance of snow on tue, wed. May be a little too early to tell, but I am hoping that the next one will be the big one, at least the one where we will have something to talk about for a while to come,maybe one of those old school ones, before spring and warmer temps take over. I don’t know about u guys, but I believe that this spring is going to bring a lot of severe weather and possibly several floods, maybe even a devastating one.Just wandering what your guys take on this is
tried to post earlier guess moderation must have ate it. Here in Floyd co. we had a decent snow last night but it is all gone now. I was just wandering, what do you guys think is in store for next week? Hope it is the big one, maybe the old school one before spring takes over. In my opinion we are in for a bad spring with plenty of severe weather and flooding. I for one hope that we don’t have a lot of severe weather or flooding. I live in a flood prone area, and until you have been through the flooding you have no idea how bad it can be and what kind of mess it leaves behind. What are your guys opinions on the upcoming system, and the imminent severe weather season? Just wandering.
CVS currently is at 37.8″ for the season, which is about 19″ above normal (to date).
Dude, come on, I was up there a week after you had your first big snow, there was still about 8 inches on the ground, drifts were crazy for KY. Then a couple days later you you got about 8 more on top of that! My inlaws closed their office 2 days and they have never done that.
May have been snowy for some but in my part of Richmond we had one snow of 7 inches and two or three of 3 or less. Puts me at a total of 16 or less.
Hopefully next week!
(I have said that before, many times beore…)
I was just reading the WSWarnings for New York City…they went from getting 6-10″ to 15-20″ FOR NOW!! as the quote was made in the warning…LOL..boy that never happens here its usually the complete opposite…LOL…LOL…
Its getting cold — not the coldest of the winter but cold relative to normal? If the average low for tomorrow is 31 F and our predicted low is 19 that’s 12 F below average. I wonder our lowest temperature relative to normal is historically? How about the warmest? Any help out there?
Snow is really coming down in Pikeville right now temp 27.
Where are you? Not a thing here near Coal Run…
i would love an update lol
Go Cats!! Looking good tonight, just keep Downey down!
About weather, has anyone seen the moisture Oklahoma and Texas? Is that moving our way? A couple of model runs has it pushing south and east off the coast? Is that possible? Why will we not see it? Is it because of the big storm in NE? I thought CB said if that snows hangs around we could get dumped on…can someone please explain?

What causes this to go to moderation? It did it about 7 times.
00z gfs trended big time the other way from past runs more snow and mositure and much farther nw with the low, chris may be close to threat mode for far eastern ky after seeing this gfs run for mon night-tue. regionwide 1-3 with some 4’s far east. track matches up well with 12z euro run as well, qpf and thermal profile may be entirely different though, no public access to qpf from the euro model I guess it’s classified info.
That is weird. I am behind Wal mart there is a lull in the snow right now but just a little while ago its was coming down at a good pace lol.I saw that the other day between Pburg and Pikeville PBurg was a white out and a few miles up the road to Pikeville hardly nothing.
until that monster in the NE moves off, dont expect to get dumped on. The NE storm is pushing everything south of most of kentucky.
