Good Saturday everyone and thanks for dropping by the blog. We have a prolonged period of snows coming our way over the next several days that will lay down several inches of snow across most of the region. The Winter Storm Threat continues with a likely upgrade to Alert very soon.
This will be a prolonged winter storm as it comes in pieces. The first will be overrunning light snows that break out from west to east on Sunday. Our low pressure will increase as it works eastward along the Kentucky/Tennessee border and into Virginia Sunday night into Monday. This is when the heaviest snows should fall. Once the low passes by… northwesterly winds and another disturbance will create widespread snow showers and squalls from Monday night through Tuesday and maybe even Wednesday. All of this will combine to put down several inches of the white stuff for the entire area.
I am riding the GFS Ensembles train…
Given all that… here is my first call…
That is only the first call map and I will have several updates to that as I get a better handle on how everything looks to progress. As you can see… I am expecting a significant snow across the board with a band of very heavy snows setting up somewhere across the area. That could be a little farther north or south than what I have… but that’s where my mind is on it right now.
We have some very light snows and flurries out there today in some areas. This shouldn’t be a very big deal… but I can see a few ares getting in on a coating of snow. The best chance for that will be across the east. You can follow any flakes right here…
I will have updates as I can through the day. I am taking in a little thing called College Gameday and the Kentucky Tennessee game at Rupp today. I won’t leave you guys hanging though and will update things in between the two and will be tweeting updates as well. Make sure you sign up to follow me on twitter… @Kentuckyweather . These updates also appear in the upper right hand corner of the blog.
Have a great day and take care.

GO BIG BLUE!!!
I don’t it’s a mere coincidence that snow also shows up in BLUE on the radar.
GO BIG BLUE! Defeat the Snowdome and UT!
Thanks Chris for the update!
GO BIG BLUE!!
Man im all out of firewood so I think me and my brother is gonna set our couch on fire in the front yard to keep warm. Its old and worn out prolly aint worth much and we aint got no more propane either. Fifure if i set it right off the porch it’ll catch the heat from the overhang and blow right into the front doorway. Id burn it in the house but my neighbor told me all that smoke aint good for you ya know but since we both enjoy cigarettes I cant see it being to much of a problem. Id rather burn this old couch than I would not get no snow anyhow.
How bout them vols!! Nicest group of young men i ever wintessed.Cant wait to see em eat pussycat tomorrow! WEE HEE HEE!!
Im gonna go out on a limb and predict we get 1-20 inches of snow this week. I always hit the nail on the head. VOLS gonna upset the ky jelly boys tomorow!
I’ll be there for Gameday, but if ya got an extra ticket for the game give me a holler haha. Thanks for the update and I look forward to beating the Vols and having that 4-8 move just a little bit north into Louisville. Should be fun!
thanks chris map looks good.
Thanks for the update, Chris. As ready as I am for Spring at this point, looks like we’re going to have AT LEAST one more round with Ol’ Man Winter.
Just heard a report out of Jacksonville, NC – 6″ of snow on the ground with heavier snow bands still to come. That is just amazing for an area that rarely gets any snowfall.
Also, a report of thunder and lightning with one of the snow squalls that went through Pender County, NC. Amazing!
I’m excited for my family and friends back home (NC) who are finally getting in on some snow this time around. 🙂
I think Chris’s “harsh and brutal” winter verified. When a winter lover like me has had enough its harsh and brutal and to think I was pokin fun at that back in December, lol.
My thoughts on the coming storm http://stormtracker.yolasite.com/
Must be a WVU fan since you like burning couches.
Well, I’m in Gatlinburg where we got 3 inches of snow yesterday and where my family and I slid 50′ backwards down our driveway, scary. I was hopin to get to watch the ballgame in a local esstablishment with some UT fans. Wouldn’t that be fun. As luck would have it I don’t believe the Jeep will be going anywhere soon. Snowed in, dang!
Light snow falling in knox county
Nice coating here is southern Pike county, snow is falling a fairly decent clip right now.
Im headed that way today, gonna hit the wilderness inn resort waterpark today and tomorrow before heading back home tomorrow night.. Looks like I might have some interesting travel to content with…
Thanks for the update, Chris. Looks like we are all gonna get in on some snow with this thing. I hope thet we get in on the deeper stuff, but would take lesser to see TAFKABubba gt one.
If we dont get a good one out of this set up, I am going to havve to take the plunge over to the Dark side! (you know, dark chocolate vs milk chocolate,)
in honor of Valentines Day. 😉
Well, gotta work this morning, but will be tuning in for Game Day.
Lets go UK fans! Break that record. And GO BIG BLUE!!!
Just looked at Accuweather’s 15 day forecast and it is giving near 60 degrees by the end of the month….for portions of Harlan County.
Oh yeah, forgot to add we have light snow falling here this orning. Rooftops are coated. mid sized flakes, but, very pretty to look at. Temp is 18.
got a good coating of snow here in Bimble,ky. outside of Barbourville, and its still snowing pretty good this morning, good size flakes coming down too…
60*!!!…WOW…I can only HOPE!!!…:)
LOL!!??!!
DrUnK Blogging I assume? 🙂 🙂
moderation monster
I hope that comes true. I am ready for a BIG snow. 12+ inches. After that, SUN and 70 deg would be perfect! HEAT WAVE COMING!!! YEEEEAHHH!
ok TIM SNOWLOVER has turn to the dark side wanting 60 degrees.lollllllllll
but when we get that 12 inxh plus snow early march he be as giddy as ever. anywho love all uy all.
just remember u got a friend in ole ROLO if u ever need him just let me know.
almost got a foot down here, like bout 12 inxhes from being there.lolllllllllllll
I know Chris says not to get hung up on the map totals..but dangit, yesterday I sitting pretty in the bulleyes of 8-10 inches! now it looks like 3-6 or maybe 4-8..if It is the 4-8, hope it gets to the 8 at least 🙂 it did last time, and I agree with the one guy, I am predicting anywhere from 1 inch to 15″ by Tuesday evening haha.
NWS does not seem to be on board with any major snow for my area.
The one out of Jackson seems to be..they will only state “accumulating snow” and “Heavy bands” but won’t say how much…well at least for Rowan(Morehead) and other areas
for London area it says accumulation of at 4 inches or more, particularly around Lake Cumberland..but a lot of uncertainity etc…and then more bands of snow Monday through Wednesday..so it’s possible you guys could end up with a good total :)!
Light snow falling in Pikeville car covered.Its 23 degrees and GO BIG BLUE!
Drunk blogging!!????!! LOL!!! 🙂
Just reading CB’s post about tracking the flakes falling today,
and I just looked out the window. There’s some of the light snowfall out there!
Didn’t realize it was supposed to do that today. It’s just a few flakes,
drifting lazily downward. Pretty.
I have the fattest cardinals in the county…they’re eating my dog food outside!
one day its exciting for snow the next its begging for spring 😉
Jackson says no reason for watches at this point?
WITH THE UPPER LOW WORKING ACROSS THE AREA ON MON…MUCH COLDER AIR
WILL INVADE THE REGION AND IT IT POSSIBLE THAT A BURST OF SNOW OR
SNOW SQUALLS COULD AFFECT THE REGION IN ADVANCE OF THE VIGOROUS
UPPER LOW LATE SUN NIGHT AND EARLY MON SIMILAR TO WHAT HAPPENED ON
TUE EVENING…THOUGH WINDS SHOULD BE LIGHTER. TEMPS SHOULD FALL THROUGH THE
DAY ON MON AS 8H TEMPS FALL WELL INTO THE TEENS BELOW 0C BY THE END
OF THE DAY. THE PROJECTED LOW TRACK ACROSS THE CWA IS NOT IDEAL FOR
HEAVY SNOW…AT LEAST IN A WIDESPREAD MANNER ACROSS EASTERN KY…WITH
THE MAIN SFC LOW. A TRACK SIMILAR TO THE 0Z GFS OR ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA COULD PRODUCE HEAVY SNOW ON SUN NIGHT AND
MON ACROSS THE NORTH OR NORTHWEST CWA AND POSSIBLY THE SOUTHWEST. AS
FAR AS MODEL QPF…THE 0Z RUN APPEARS LIGHTER THAN WHAT WAS FORECAST
12 HRS AGO WITH THE NORTH PROBABLY UNDER THE GREATEST THREAT FOR A
THIRD TO A HALF OF AN INCH AND POSSIBLY THE BLACK MTN AREA.
HOWEVER…THE THREAT AREA FOR HEAVY SNOW CONTINUES TO VARY
CONSIDERABLY FROM RUN TO RUN AND AT THIS POINT CONFIDENCE WAS NOT
HIGH ENOUGH TO HOIST ANY WATCHES AT THIS POINT.
Back roads are covered here from the morning snow
Thanks, CB, for the continued updates. I definitely appreciate the fact
that you take the time to do this for us, especially on your days off.
Thanks Chris for the update and first call. I’m still hoping it moves a little more to the south so we get in on the bigger totals. I just want one more 8″ snow and then I’ll be ready for Spring :)It is snowing here now and we have a dusting.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very light, fine snow in the Masterson Station area of Lexington… with a dusting on the ground… nice!
Snow is coming down once again in Clay County. We have a white coating on road and ground. I can’t believe this winter pattern. It has been a roller coaster ride this winter, but I’ve loved it. Looks like northern Clay county, Buring Springs area is in for another 4-8 inches. I hope this trend for southeast Ky stays even though I will be teaching all summer long. Can’t help the fact that I LOVE snow.

CHRIS, Yoo hoo Chris!
My God…
Are you so depressed for business that you spam a weather blog..??? lol
What a loser… LMAO
…
I personally like this site: http://www.4-men.org/
It has helped me alot. Believe me, I needed it.
Listen dude, Stop using other people names, It’s really childish… And posting links that that when Chris has stated over and over that School Kids read this blog…. Seriously, grow up…
Crawl out your your Mommas basement, take a shower, go out, meet people… Talk to a girl for goodness sakes… geez…
You’re missing out on a great life man…
…
WOW…The nutjobs sure came out in full force spamming mode today…is this what the blog has come to? Time for some people to grow up.
It’s the cost of popularity. The best thing to do imo is to keep talking bout KY Weather and ignore the nut jobs.
Oh by the way fake vinny, it might be small, but my sister certainly doesn’t mind.
It may come to the point where Chris has to approve every single comment, like Belski does on his blog… I hope not, but posting links like that nut just posted is really sad…
…
Voice of Reason: stop spamming this blog! You have your own blog.
No i think u should have to sign up to post here, vinny i think u should e-mail chris and let him know whats happening
I have…
I feel I started this by engaging with the spammer, and for that I would like to apologize to all of the bloggers…
Vince…
I support that! Entering a username/passowrd would prevent all this…butof course it will make this a lot less fun to post.
I hope it doesn’t come to that!!
http://wxcaster.com/gis-gfs-snow-overlays.php3?STATIONID=ILN
latest gfs bringing the big snow band north of lex!!! come on baby you know u want nky!!!
Even though I’m current living up in nky, I believe no one deserves a nice snowstorm more than central kentucky. So I hope Lexington is in the bulleye.
that is still slamming a lot of central ky
You know, I kinda hope it does come to that. Not just to eliminate wackos like that guy, but there are many others that post stupid junk on here too.
I want to read educated thoughts on the weather, not hear about happenings in people’s lives.
Well, I hope everyone who wants to see snow gets it, but especially those of us in southern KY. We’re always right on the edge of snow-no snow, and we usually get no snow. We sure do get our fair share of rain though 🙁
LOL. Did anyone see the guy on ESPN College GameDay behind Calipari holding up the sign that says “In Kentucky We Love Our COUSINS!”
I’m still laughing.
No need to apologize.. some spammers don’t have respect, especially for a weather blog. Jealous over the popularity of Chris’s blog.
Sorry Tommy, too greedy. The main bands will miss you as a result 😉
lol the past two runs have began the northern trend! i may get missed!! look out dayton and columbus!!!
LOL!
The guy must be from the mountains, its the only place where that can be true in more ways than one.
That was uncalled for.
How can you say that. You guys had 8 inches a couple of weeks ago.
12z GFS says 4-8 for most of the state. Louisville looks to be the latest bullseye. (8-10″)

I definitely agree with you. It would cut down on SOME of the spamming, as well as force a few folks that like to hide behind fake names to express their opinions.
not enough snow
need to double that 😀
Susteen, that is rude and ignorant.
Calm down. I didn’t say we never got snow, I said “usually”. We almost always get rain when central and northern KY get snow. Southeastern KY gets in on some big snows, but Whitley County usually “just” misses out. Help me out fellow Whitley Countians. Am I right?
My sister who lives in Ludowici GA says she had about an inch of snow yesterday but it melted quickly said the temps never dropped below 35 overnite
not Whitley but i am in Knox an yes you are right when it comes down to it SE KY gets all rain when there is any chance of a mix
Hey Bernie, this may be a stupid question, but how do you enhance the snow total map so can see the division lines better?
The truth is ignorant? Now that’s a big dose of irony right there.

Thanks, weather friend 🙂
YES! I agree. Registration please! And…pass some kind of IQ test to post!
That is funny!
Thanks Andy Rose. I’m actually on Whitley-Knox line…I knew I wasn’t imagining things, haha.
i’m about 3 miles away from Whitley line
candian model similar to the gfs and not the nam in terms of qpf this means for now the gfs gets slightly more weight than the nam. the hpc has over 40% for 4 inches for most of the region leaning in the same direction with addtional support from the ecmwf ensembles.
Hope you get banned for that dumb statement. And by the way, where do you think Chris lives?
Looking good for a good snowfall for most of KY. I’m excited for the snow lovers!
Shane, when you be able to update your blog. I would like to hear yours and Mitch’s latest thoughts, on the storm.
Hey Shane – how about an update on your site!! I love reading your thoughts! 🙂
System SEEMS to be trending a little south instead of the heavier stuff over southern Ohio / norhtern KY.
You picking up on that, Shane?
Chris Says on Twitter:
We’ll be upgrading to Winter Storm Alert for much of the area with my next blog update coming later today.
I know two guys, one from Letcher County and one from Perry County, that married their cousins! And I’m not joking.
I like your approach on your site. All things considered, surprised that CB’s map still seems good ATM, since the models usually drift by now for this region.
Be interesting to see if it holds and if southern moisture gets tapped. My feelings are that we could be on the high end of CB’s map when all is said and done.
This is the time I normally say the warm air will win out for all but the north, but I am not seeing that this ATM and we are close in.
Of course, he said “much”. What part of KY is “not” much? 😉
Chris lives in Ashland. Not the same thing. They have electricity, schools, and dentists there.
SE KY of course the home of DOME 😉
Like these maps Bernie!! Thanks!
It’s very possible. State law says second cousins may marry, first cousins (or closer!) may not. Second cousins share a set of great grandparents. First cousins share a set of grandparents. Just sayin’.
awaiting your apology….
WINTER STORM WATCH NORTHERN KY!!!!!!! THE TRREND IS MY FRIEND BABY!!!! THE DOME LIVES!!!
Surely tommy, since he would not gloat at other people’s expense. If he is though, I say this on behalf of the some others on the blog:
Bite me 😉
I feel very dirty now and feel my IQ has dropped just by reading some of this stuff. Is it possible to have a negative IQ? 😉
This might be a stupid question but I know absolutely nothing about these models and stuff. When the models say we are going to get 6-8 inches do the mets forecast we are going to get 2-4 inches?
Wilmington puts out a Watch for 4-6, I can imagine what Louisville puts out for central. 😉
Louisville will upgrade in their evening package from the SWS
snow hog…LOL! 🙂 The watches were posted by Wilmington, LMK has decided to wait for another model run I guess…
I’ve found the mets usually stay conservative until the event unfolds.
Latest HPC maps are all over a Northern KY trend
Day 2 4 inch or greater http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/wwd/day2_psnow_gt_04.gif
Day 2 8 Inch or greater
http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/wwd/day2_psnow_gt_08.gif
Day 2 12 inches or greater
http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/wwd/day2_psnow_gt_12.gif
As do we here in the hills. So you kinda made your self look dumb there :O.
Yeah that makes since just didn’t want to get too excited looking at the models if there was no way we could get that much. Thanks!!
WOW! I like that one thats got Lexington in prime area! It’s been a LONG time since I’ve seen central outlined like that! 😉
Are you kidding me? It is sad that not only do we have to put up with the stupid, hillbilly, stereotypes from the rest of the country, but from our own state as well! Your statement shows true Kentucky ignorance!
This person must think because he lives where there’s murders everyday, hundreds of thousands of people and, gangs and all that nonsense he is smarter than us hill billy folk. WRONG!
Why does the rest of the country laugh at Eastern Kentucky then? Because everyone else is wrong? Why does 60 Minutes do stories from Eastern Kentucky about the horrible living conditions, drug usage, crime rates, incest, teen pregnancy, poverty, environmental destruction, poor education, illiteracy rates, etc. Do they do it because its not true? Do they do it because the rest of the country doesn’t pity you?
Looks like the NWS in Jackson plans on issuing a Winter Storm Watch for Sunday night, according to their latest discussion.
I’m sorry…
that you live in such a disgusting place!
Yep. Facts don’t lie.
Show me one publication where any place in Eastern Kentucky is considered a “Best Place To Live”.
I can show you that most of the mountain counties are among the poorest places in the country. Have the highest drug usage. Have the highest rates of teen pregnancy. Have the lowest levels of education. Need I go on?
No, but it is possible that some demon bugs have somehow crawled into our weather blog. Where’s the demon spray?
We need to exterminate our blog to get the demons out. 🙂 🙂
Yes, please GO ON and find another place to play little kid.
According to the latest discussion, NWS in Jackson will issue a winter storm watch for sunday night.
Nope, read the latest discussion…

I have to agree. I live in Williamsburg and we normally get mostly rain…last storm at my house was only 5 inchs.
Check out Ky state police Sex Offender Registry for all mountain counties and then go and check out the registry for the “bigger Cities” and see what you come up with. 🙂 I think with your sex crime and harsh crime rate that you would not feel the need to bad mouth some of the best people in this state. The smog in the city have corrupted alot the residents brains in the bigger cities like you. Bug off you imbecile, us mountain folk have a lot more life in us than you could ever dream of. 🙂 Tootles and keep your nonsense off our blog, people like you are UNINVITED. Usually people like to berate others when they are jealous, I guess that is your problem.

I was working on a blog post to explain all my thoughts on that map, but just had an emergency call into work… I’ll post a blog later, but that’s my thoughts on totals.
that was totally uncalled for..
Thanks for putting out there Rolo. Tommy is going overboard with the gloating. No need to rub it in everytime you land in the sweet spot.
Thanks Shane! I know you, MJ, Chris gonna have your hands full in the next few days!
I’m afraid our man Chris is going to have to begin registration of bloggers(with user name/and password required to logon and post.. I’m sure he does not want that because it’s more work for him(and gets not a dime for it), actually for everyone, but if this afternoons “GARBAGE POSTS” continue, I don’t see much choice….What a shame
True dat!
You have me in the 4-8″ range in the NO SNOW COUNTY OF PULASKI so I’m a happy camper!!!
dont really know if pulaski county is considered mountains or not but since you think ashland is not, i guess we are not either…..ever been to ashland? i would venture to guess that you havent, doubt you get out of the house very often. i have several clients that have left your idea of heaven to escape to the “mountains” because of the high taxes, CRIME, and general unfreindly demeanor of people like you. you prove their point quite nicely. hope someone throws your butt out in downtown detroit some night…you would be right at home i guess..
I mentioned that earlier and then “tommy” posted that it was trending north, which seemed to not be the case.
Still surprised tommy would gloat like that. Perhaps he had a silly moment.

I guess LMK office and JKL office disagree on southern KY. Russell county is not under a WSW but yet Pulaski Co. and Wayne is under a WSW from JKL. But LMK is calling for up to 4″ in Russell Co. Oh well
And it’s not like anyone is getting the big time shaft. Even in my neck of the woods (London-Corbin), a 4-5″ from an Alberta Clipper is very respectable. We’re all getting in on some decent snow action this Winter, no need to act like a four year old.
I saw that as well, and it makes me kinda iffy about our snow totals as we are only a couple of counties away (Laurel). Perhaps they are waiting on future model runs, should either be a WWA or WSW. I still say that from Lake Cumberland over to London is in line for 4-5″, with maybe local amounts to 6″.
After the miserable winters we’ve had in southern KY the past 10+ years I’ll gladly take a 3″-4″ snow from a clipper!!!
I say bring on the 4-8 here in FLOYD co. and GO BIG BLUE !!! I don’t know which one I am more excited about the snow or tonights big game
Wooo Hoooo 6 to 9inch for the coalfields is what charleston is saying.
Susteen, where are you from anyway? The only thing I am going to say to you is that you are a sad little person. Kentucky has problems (as does every other state in the U.S.), but we are proud of all that is good in this state. Rant all you want, just makes you look poor, uneducated and under the influence of ignorance.
I second that 🙂
Chris is from Magoffin County.
Where’s the Louisville office? Seems like they wait til the last minute here lately til issue anything….unless I missed it. Which I might have. 🙂
scroll up to Kathy’s post
latest GFS has went north again with its highest QPF. It gives central indiana the heaviest snow not good
But don’t you usually throw out the 18z?
Yikes, if that were to verify, forget the WSW for southern and eastern KY. If this one busts, I’m in early Spring mode.
I’m from a suburb of Colorado Springs, CO. I now live just outside of Louisville.
You can say my rant makes me look poor, uneductaed and under the influence of ignorance all you want, it only makes you look more so. The facts are all in my favor. Only the uneducated and ignorant would deny proven facts. But, I guess you have to hold on to something, it is human nature after all.
Look at this, even WKYT reported that a Gallup Poll shows Eastern KY as the unhappiest place to live in the U.S.

Chris Mitch someone update us soon if this is possible.
Gun shy maybe? I disagree with you sometimes WX mainly on the long range forecasting stuff. On this I feel they are jumping the gun as well. I will ahve to see it to believe it when a Clipper system warrants a WSW for MY county (pulaski). These systems usually struggle to reach this criteria along the ohio river counties, let alone in Southern Ky. The issue will be a lack of moisture, not warm air though.
Oh…Thanks Andy! I did manage to scroll right past it. Sorry Louisville!
I do hope we get more snow than that though (in Lexington)
🙂
Go back to colorado. You are not welcome here. While you are there lite some fireworks in an avalanche prone area…..its fun I promise 😉
ok sorry guys! i’ll keep the inner ahole at bay! heres to everyone getting 10 inches!!!
ok the north trend can stop, AND i hope all of us get the snow we want!!! you too bubba g!
So whats the deal with this storm.. Will Eastern Kentucky be hit?
Tommy is this storm trending north?

I Guess thats enough, but it continues to snow on the next frames.. haha 😉
Not buying the big jump north on the 18z runs, I might bite if the 0z’s also come in farther north… until then I just posted a new Video Blog on my blog to hold you over.
ty shane.
Now this is funny *disclaimer* “Please if you are one of the sensitive people do not click the link if you want a good laugh you have to see this”

Shane when does that other model come out?
LOL.
storm will produce 6-8 for se ky and higher in far se. 3-6 in centrsal and 3-6 tops for norther ky.
You think we’re getting the most snow, Rolo?
Now THAT’s the Tommy spirit I like 😉
Well if I left and everybody else like me left…where would you’re welfare money come from? Somebody has to pay taxes.
I tried to post about an hour and a half ago but I guess moderation must have ate it. I just wanted to say bring on the snow and GO BIG BLUE!!!
Well here we go again…de-ja-vu..just last thursday and friday..wswarnings for 4-8″..and HERE WE GO AGAIN!…:)
I guess I’d better cut my weekend getaway a tad bit short and head home early tomorrow..or maybe not..Snow-bound in the smokies don’t sound to bad to me……
That is right he was born and raised in Salyersville, He is just as much mountain folk as we are and he , like myself are proud to be from the mountains of E Ky. True we have problems, and so do all other states, but you will not find any more proud, or more resilient people than the ones that call he mountains home.
Could somebody get this jerk banned from here???
Im from Central Ohio area, and now live just outside of Nicholasville, and regardless of what I think of any area of KY, I sure wouldn’t get on a KY weatherblog and rant about it, insulting everyone at every turn. Open your eyes jackass, the world doesn’t revolve around you.
awesome!!!!! that would be a lot of snow for most of ky.
I see people that suck off the govt everyday. They turn my stomach as well. That being said, throwing that stereotype over eastern ky as a whole shows how transparent and shallow you are. I assure you, leeches off the govt are just as prevelant in big cities as they are in the mtns of e. ky. I wont go on a Colorado weather blog and call those folks pot smoking hippies or elitists. I not that kind of low life.
Yes to you us Kentuckians might be undereducated and have a lot of teen pregnancies, you haven’t saw a poll telling you how much the neighbors will help if needed,how many clothes that unwed mother got at that baby show,how many times the lady next door got the kids off the bus because you didn’t get home in time.You aren’t from around here so you don’t see all the people praying when the docotor says yes it is cancer and you don’t see that little old lady slipping that 20.00 to that person for gas money,even though she’s on a fixed income.You don’t see and you sure don’t feel the love of little communities like the ones around here.I feel sorry for you mister,you’re the one missing out!
LMAO. I work with a few people like that…LOL
Don’t we all? LOL I won’t name names but the folks know who they are 😉 or maybe not
overall yes, but to the point that alot of ky still gets good snows. south and west of bowling green may see much less than the rest of the area but as of now, i think we all look good!!!
I hate the nanny state system too, I pay MY share of taxes. BTW it isnt “MY” welfare money. As far as the handout mentality goes, the people of Ky, didnt drink the Kool-Aid and support the nanny state “king” last election….how bout Colorado?
Hey Guys Any One Have An Ideal What Knox County Is Looking At?? I Actually Enjoy Spring & Summer But Ive Enjoyed This Winters Snows, & Wouldnt Mind Getting Some More If It Comes At Once, Im Not To Fond Of A Few Inches Here & A Few Inches There, I Like Snows That Bring Alot Down.. Id Really Like To See One More Good Snow Before Spring Hits But I Understand Some Havent Been As Fortunate As Myself & Been Left Out, I Just Wish We Could All Get A Foot Or Two.. Lol I Doubt That Happening But Im Going To Wish (At Least Till Spring) Hope You All Enjoy Your Nights… And Enjoy Whatever Snow You Do Get.. Oh And Thanks Chris For Putting In The Effort On This Blog, You Do A Wonderful Job..
So true…most people I have met in the 4 years I have lived in KY would never EVER take a handout from the gov’t. Also, most people here are very kind and generous, and would go out of their way to help someone in need. I am embarrassed to say the state I grew up in (Ohio) voted for Comrade Obama.
What nonsense are you referring to?
