Good afternoon everyone. Your friendly weatherdude is dropping by for an update on the snow and blowing snow that continues across much of the state. This has been a wicked storm as we have had tons of reports of snow drifts of 3 or 4 feet tall and total snowfall closing in on a foot in some areas.
As you can imagine… we have received a ton of pics and I will try to post as many as I can. Here are a couple from northeastern Kentucky showing some awesome snow totals. The first is from near Carter Caves where the blogger said he measured some 14″ of the white stuff on his deck…
This pic from nearby Lewis County also shows a ton of snow…
Northwesterly winds will kick in later this evening and continue through Wednesday into Thursday. This means that the focus for accumulating snows will be shifting more toward eastern and southeastern Kentucky. An additional several inches of snow will be possible across these areas over the next 36 hours. As a matter of fact… the worst may be yet to come across the extreme southeast part of the state. Track the increase in snow showers and squalls here…
Winds will continue to gust up creating more blowing and drifting snows through Wednesday. While road conditions have improved today… ice and snow covered roads should return once the sun sets.
More updates as needed… take care.

I see several several couple inch snow events coming, so kids could be going until July at this rate 😉
After shoveling drifts twice from my driveway, smaller snows sound ok to me 😉
why shovel the snow in driveway, u afraid u going get ur feet wet.lol
Well I am glad that everyone in Northern, Eastern, and Southern Ky has had a decent snowfall. We have only 2 inches in my part of Madison County, and our largest this winter was 3.5 I am so ready afor spring. Every snowstorm has been a miss this winter. When will the snowdome let up over this area? : (
I’m glad I homeschool! We started in August and we will be done the first of May. No snow days here which makes for some complaining, but they would complain louder if they had to do school in June.
This Winter has been Chris Bailey’s dream. He’s waited a while for this one. I know you’re loving it Chris! 😉
Well it seems like almost every part of the state has got a good snowfall except here in Bardstown. They were predicting 5-8 for us and we got 3. Our biggest snow was 5 inches at the end of January. Only 25 miles due south of Louisville and we can’t get any of their snow. If we are just going to get these little snows bring on the warm weather. Our biggest snow in the last 4 years was 8 inches in March 2008.
Chris says:….As a matter of fact… the worst may be yet to come across the extreme southeast part of the state. Track the increase in snow showers and squalls here…
Snow showers have increased in intensity here in my area of knox co. in the past couple hrs. and I noticed the radar is filling in showing those infamous upslope conditions kicking in…
We have 6 inches of Snow in Northern Clay County (Burning Spings Area) and it’s still snowing!!
CHRIS,,,What should we expected for Madison County over the next 12 hours or so???? Please respond
yeah, our kids here in knox co. have missed 20 or more days already..I THINK.. I’ve lost count..anyways they’ve even missed their so called make up days too. gonna miss their spring break week. and the cut off day for extended days in the summer is JUNE 16th. So they have surpassed that day easily.. I havent seen school out so much here in a long time…
Just from the looks of the radar central ky looks like it’s seen all the snow its going to see from this system. I’m not sure what the coming weekend has in store but I’d love to see a big finish to winter.
Wow, it’s amazing if what a difference in burning springs and horse creek. The last I measured we were sitting a little bit above two of course some has melted. But I see the up slope starting to pick up now, at this rate burning springs may end up with 8 inches out of this.
I’m from western ky and had maybe 2-3 inches so don’t feel too bad…..!
Moderate snow falling in Barbouville (knox co.). big fluffy flakes..
So do you think that we will get a good accumulation or just a few inches?? Id like to see a foot of snow here;-)
Does anyone have any info or thoughts on how much knox county will actually get? thanks
if we get into those good upslope bands, its not out of the question to get another 1-3″ down here.. this set up last week brought around 3″ to the area.. Especially if its snowing as hard where your at as it is here in Bimble…
tweet update says snows increasing through the evening across central and eastern Ky.
I would’nt expect a foot by no means, this is just those typical upslope snows that can drop, depending on your location 2 or more inches. here in Barbourville I would say 1-3″ sounds safe right now..
Only about 2 inches at my house in Manchester.
Thank you Tim, Yea its been steady snowing for a bit now and i can already tell a difference in the amounts its left, im in Artemus Area so shouldnt be to much different.
Ok Tim of you hear a blood curdling scream it is ME! lol NO MORE SNOW!
Thank you again Tim, I guess im just wishful thinking when i say a foot, I would like to have that but i know its not going to happen but hopefully we will end up with a foot of snow! Lol..
nope, were neighbors..:)
I’ll send it right back at ya…LOL..and we’ll bust bernie’s ears when it meets at the halfway point of berea…LOL…
my kids have already missed 20+ days of school, and have actually missed some of their make-up days as well…June 16th is their cut off day for extended summer school…so I would say they’ll be going right up to that very day…
Only about 2 or 2 and a half inches at my house in Burning Springs unless I missed a blizzard in the past hour!!
Where are you at in Burning Springs?
Well, this other person must have measured a drift or something then. lol 🙂
wxman dont forget me!! i got 19 inches on my lawn and this is the snowiset febrary on record for cvg!!!!
OK OK OK you win. We havn’t missed that many, maybe 5 or 6 but seems like a life time. We missed monday that was a makeup day! So we will see……..WATCH OUT BERNIE! Chas and Shawna may send screams TOO lol. 🙂
I live in southern Laurel County in the North Corbin area and I measured only 3 inches of snow in my back yard. I know we have seen more snow falling this year than we have in a long time but in my area they have only added up to a few inches here and there.
can some one tell me which area southern Laurel County falls under – southern ky, south central ky or south eastern ky? thanks
I know some of you have been spoiled by Kentucky’s mild winters and some of you have been complaining about the snow but look on the bright side of it. The cold air and snow helps to kill germs and bugs (and I mean the creepy crawling kind). I for one am hoping to have fewer bugs in my garden this year, especially those pesky tater bugs. 🙂
I agree with ya. The middle of the state is always shorted for some odd reason; the mountains aren’t that far away and you would think the river would be impetus for weather systems. the good LE snows are always just to our east. It’s just bizzare how this state has such different precipitation zones in the winter, I guess it does too in the summer, we just don’t pay as close attention to the weather unless it’s severe. Ohio river to the west, mountains to the east, so the weather hits these like a go-cart hits the rubber barriers at a cart track and bounces away from us here smack dab in the middle of the state.
No school Wednesday for Laurel, Knox or Whitley County
I totally agree. “Tater bugs” destroyed our entire crop about half way through the growing season. Left us with a small crop. I hope this winter will help! I know this is a weather blog but does anyone have any other suggestions for getting rid of “tater bugs”?
Uranium?
10 out of the past 11 months have been colder and wetter than average. That’s nothing short of amazing around here. I challenge anyone to find the last time that happened here. This is a WILD period we are in weatherwise.
No school for Bourbon County tomorrow….
sad part is averages balance out so somewhere down the line we’ll have the warm dry patterns, i dont want to think about it, hopefully i’ll live in the rockies or alaska by then
CB is gradually becoming a legend
Can someone tell me what we might expect if anything in Georgetown tonight? We have had a couple flurries flying around today but nothing major.
WHUUUT?? this is for Monday?? Yikes if this turns out to be snow!

that is for tuesday and has the low in a perfect position for snow. the freezing line is down near the coast.
Gradually Becoming…..Sorry He IS LEGEND!!!!!
How about Corbin Independent?
The voice of Reason is starting to talk about Mondays storm….
It considered south eastern KY but its right on the border between south eastern KY and south central KY
Fayette County is out tomorrow? There must be something that I’m missing about the roads. I love snow days but am definitely ready to go back to school!
thanks michael i appreciate your information. that will help a lot.
when the voice of reason is referring to his house as m— m—- is he trying to brag. it turns my stomach. i can’t stand to look at him.
I was in south Lexington last night and I was surprised by the condition of the roads. The side roads connecting Walmart to Fayette mall looked like they had not been salted or scraped. I would think those would be high priority.
My family couldn’t beleive it ourselves. The news said it’s because the back roads and side streets are still too bad for the buses. The last day of school now is set for June 2nd, if we don’t miss any more.
they may be a inch or a little bit over where im at in burning springs.
He’s not my favorite but I think that’s just his way of making a joke.
Well at Bluegrass airport the season to date snowfall is just over 20 inches.
WXMAN
I do have to ASK you about something. You said you have NEVER seen a pattern with above normal precip and below normal temps for so long of a stretch.
Hasn’t this happened before? Say 1976 through 1978?
You aren’t kidding, if that turns out to be snow we are all in for a big one! I don’t think we would see anyone getting left out
LOL Chelle, I’m surprised nobody heard me when I found out Laurel was out again tomorrow. 😉
I am in Bourbon County I measured several areas in my yard with totals coming in around 8 inches with some 9 inch measurements. These were not snow drift areas just various location in the back forty. I did find 2 and 3 foot drifts in my area, bethlehem road in bourbon county has 7 foot drifts along the road, took pictures. I think we see another inch after midnight toward dawn.
Bourbon county 7 to 9 inches in places, looks like another inch to come overnight.
did I miss something? the 1st comment from “voice of reason” talking about needing winter to kill germs & bugs is a she not a he and she didn’t say anything about her house. has someone else posted a comment under this name
vOICE OF REASON IS ANOTHER MET ON A LEXINGTON TV STATION
very confused about our forcast for this weekend going into next week. local forcast is showing our temperatures in the 40s with rain and rain/snow later next week. what are you guys seeing for my area in southern Laurel County? thanks
You are right that is the only one I read was about the cold killing germs and bug. I say bring it on cause I don’t want bugs eating up my garden this year like it did last year.
Just drove by RJ Corman’s place on SHort Shun in Jessamine, and some of the snow must have blown off his artificial snow mountain because there is adrift about a quarter mile long and 5 feet deep along the road!
I’m with you, it seems to me like he is bragging when he talks about M— M—-. I don’t like him either he acts like he is better than everyone else. I have also noticed how him and N—-C– look, giggle and act toward each other.
Glad you said that ( as in more snow)! Had to go out to get my 35 calorie bread before we get the next go round. Me? Go get bread? Well, it is between the snows. All be safe!
Now that CHris is in Ashland forecasting out of Huntington I wonder if (in reference to his twitter post) across the region is the Huntington Ashland area or where? TG doesn’t classify it as a strong disturbance. Not questioning CHris or TG just confused by the variety of forecasts we always get.
thanks for clarifying about the voice of reason comment. I was really confused when I read that comment about his house. I don’t live in the Lexington area so I had never heard of him before. I guess I won’t use that name anymore, lol.
sueb, I am with you. BRING ON THE SNOW! (atleast for Laurel County anyway, some of you northern ky places might feel like you have had enough already,lol)
that is the wrong one.
Hey fellow bloggers, well I have to say this part of Morehead got their fair share of snow and more out of this last storm, it’s amazing..drifts have to be over 2ft. I had to walk through some to get to my car..BUT I just from Winchester to Morehead..and it was ALL freezing rain..no snow..what is that about?!! The temp in the vehicle said it was 25/26 degrees..I why is it raining? I had to walk a freakin half mile in that crap! 🙂 but gotta love the snow..
Intresting storm upcoming for monday we’ll seee what happens with it the 18z gfs has a squall line of thunderstorms but the majoirty of the models are much further south with another snow maker.
Temps look marginal for the weekend system in southern KY. Probably rain with some rain/snow mix at this point. May end as a little snow too. But not expecting too much of rain or snow with it for the weekend. Next weeks system is still up in the air with the models not in agreement.
Anyone else reporting rain or freezing rain?, all I see are snow advisories, nothing about freezing rain, but it did from Winchester to Morehead and is still doing it, though not as heavy.
i dont watch BM he gets on my nerves, he is soooo cocky and jealous of other mets.. so what do you mean when u say m—m—
what is m— m— and n—c… i never watch him
this disturbance tonite looking like it might eat some GRUBB as it comes down, radar popping up north.
Well, rolo lets hope it eats so much it founders. lol
I drove over to fayette mall area today for lunch and was totally depressed by the amount of snow on the ground over there. Looked double what we got in NW LEX. My lawn is cut pretty short for the winter but can still see the blades of gra5s sticking through the snow.
Thanks for your opinion, but I’ll wait for Chris to comment on it. He is the proffesional.
JP is right he’s simply making a joke. I’ve never actually looked at anybody and gotten sick, you should definitely have that treated.
Don’t you live in Masterson? We have 5 inches in our backyard here.
It must have all blown over from my yard.
I live over by Fayette Mall and I measured 7 this afternoon.
m..m is not as much of a manor or as “stately” as that person claims. I try to follow chris when I can. Chris is the most accurate in his forecasts and doesn’t have a big head like other some of the other guys in town.
Currently have freezing rain at 25*. Hope this does not last long?????
Chris Tweeted 1″-3″ across region tonight. What region is he referring to? Is Central KY or better yet Clark Co. part of it?
I’ve never thought anything more than he’s just a guy who enjoys what he does, and enjoys his life. I don’t actually know him. I only see him on TV. How many of you who are posting these things about him can back it up because you actually know him?
