Good evening everyone. The arctic front continues to quickly work eastward across the state and this will cause all the slush and water to freeze up in a hurry. This will result in some nasty travel conditions developing over the next few hours. Snows will begin to fill back in from northwest to southeast this evening and overnight. Widespread 2″-4″ totals with higher amounts across the east will be likely over the next 36 hours.
Wind gusts to 30-35mph will be likely across much of the area and this will lead to blowing and drifting snows through Wednesday. This may also create white out conditions at times resulting in some of the worst travel conditions of the entire winter. Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories continue to be out for much of the region through Wednesday. But… one office is totally dropping the ball. Take a look…
I am simply amazed that the NWS in Louisville has NOTHING issued for their counties. They, along with the other offices, have done an awesome job up to this point with the storm. However… Louisville seems to have packed it in before the game is over. I hate to see them have a poor ending to an otherwise great job.
Track the snows moving back in with the regional radars…
You can also track the cold blast with Kentucky Mesonet…
Keep posting your weather and I will have more updates later this evening. Take care.

latest nam gives me 3-6!!! my o my!!!!!!!!
Well, give him a cookie. Were you happy when Santa brought you toys a couple of months ago? Man, did he say he was 20? or 2?
ty LEGEND,
Betty, you need to get a life!
Good for you Tommy!!! I’m glad you are finally getting your big snow.Nothing down here for me but rain and even that has stopped now.But since I have already had lots of snow this winter…it’s nice to see everyone else get in on the fun.Stay safe and warm out there tonight folks!
Why so rude Betty?
yep north and east look out as this disturnmance moves thru. looking good for u all.
Good for you Tommy!!! I’m glad you are finally getting your big snow.Nothing down here for me but rain and even that has stopped now.But since I have already had lots of snow this winter…it’s nice to see everyone else get in on the fun.Stay safe and warm out there tonight folks!…P.S. I forgot to say that the temps have dropped from 45* down to 33*.
can someone post a link to the new NAM forecast?
betty a southern ky snowlover probably, give her a break.
she frustrated like alot are right now.
when it comes to snow i am 2 and a half!!!
Here is a picture I took at my residence shortly after 4pm here in eastern Boyle County. http://stormtracker.yolasite.com/featured-image.php
Jackson has decreased their forecast for snow here in Somerset from 2-3 inches to approximately 1/2-1 for tonight and Wed. Oh well, nothing new here!
lol i rekin so but thiing is we need the ull to pull to arrive a little laeter with lower temps= higher ratios and more snow.
I think the cold front has arrived in Jessamine County… it’s officially COLD out there! I just trudged out to the barn to feed the animals and the wind was blowing hard, right in my face, which must mean it’s coming out of the N-NW. I’m not sure about the official wind chill, but my personal wind chill said very cold hands and cold nose in a very short time!
We had a great snow this morning, but that “brief” period of rain/sleet etc. ended up being close to an 8 hour brief rain which made everything slush and a lot of our snow disappear..hopefully it will return tonight..not sure, but it looks like Morehead may be around the 3-6 range..I can’t see the new NAM..and really? I think ole Ms Betty was just making a joke that sounded wrong..who would snap at good ole Tommy?!
When things go to moderation, do they ever come back? I posted a really nice long post and SUCCESS = MODERATION…I don’t think so..:)Dangit..
Tommy, she says your acting like your two and yet, she is the one that is taking shots at people because, they get excited about snow. In my opinion she the immature one. So don’t let her bring ya down man. ENJOY YOUR SNOW!!
Me too!!! 🙂 🙂
I hope that we get on some snow this time. I would take 2-4 inches.
In fact I would take 2 inches… 🙂
Really confused??? The NWS has Knox/Laurel under a WWA for 2-6 inches of snow but on their local forcast it says no accumulating snow falls. What do you guys think? Will we get snow in my area out of part 2 of this system?
http://wxcaster.com/gis-snow-overlays.php3?STATIONID=LVX
no they are lost in space…..
Hey Joe,
I looked up Jackson’s forecast for Somerset and this is what it says for you through Thursday………
Issued by The National Weather Service
Jackson, KY 4:07 pm EST, Tue., Feb. 9, 2010
… WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM EST THURSDAY…
THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM EST THURSDAY.
* SNOW SHOWERS AND SQUALLS WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE LATE TONIGHT AND LAST THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING.
* TOTAL SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS FROM TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING SHOULD RANGE FROM 2 TO 6 INCHES. LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS CAN BE EXPECTED ABOVE 2500 FEET. EXPECT THE LOWEST AMOUNTS IN THE SOUTHWEST NEAR THE TENNESSEE BORDER WITH THE HIGHER AMOUNTS FURTHER EAST IN THE HIGH TERRAIN NEAR THE VIRGINIA BORDER. IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THESE ARE TOTAL SNOWFALL AMOUNTS THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING.
* ACCUMULATING SNOW FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING IN COMBINATION WITH STRONG WINDS AND RAPIDLY FALLING TEMPERATURES WILL ENTER THE AREA AND PRODUCE WIND CHILL VALUES AS LOW AS ZERO TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING. EXPECT THE HIGHEST SUSTAINED WINDS AROUND 20 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 35 MPH ON WEDNESDAY. ALSO… BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW COULD REDUCE VISIBILITIES AT TIMES LATE TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. THE BIGGEST IMPACTS SHOULD BE ON ROADWAYS.
snow falling again in ft thomas, BIG flakes!!! round 2 sounds soooo sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nam and gfs are putting .2 to .3 here by noon tommorow and with temps in the 10s that can fluff nicely!! knowing how i measure that could be 22 inches lol jk heres hoping for atleast 4 or 5 more inches!!!
nku even closed today, if we can get 4 more inches i think they’ll call tommorow!!!
That burst of snow looks like it’s hitting some dry air trying to make it to LEX.
The Louisville NWS might be on to something with not issuing a WWA/WSW.
you lucky duck, I wish we had a foot on the ground here….noticed radar is filling back in nicely to the west, just hope that trend continues….enjoy your real snow….lol
I had the same problem earlier today. I tried to send the same comment 3 or 4 times and every time I sent my comment it went to moderation, I even changed the wording around and it still went to moderation but when I checked back a couple of hours later it posted each one. so hang in there, it might be posted later
Thanks! Do you have a link to the NAM for snow totals for the weekend system(s)?
yea, i understand her frustration i lived in lexington for 14 yrs and after feb 98 it sucked! but i hope we can all get some good snows, the nam and gfs certainly think we are in for some decent totals!!! i love snow so much. dont know why but i cant wait to live in the rockies or alaska so i can play in the snow everyday!!! (yes i am 20 haha)
Wow, the more I learn, the more I’m confused. Morehead under winter storm warning out of Jackson, with like 3-8 inches accumulation through thursday morning instead of 7pm wed night like before..lexington is just under a special weather statement, BUT we only have a 50% chance of snow tonight/tomorrow even less and they have a 70% chance of snow?? So why the warning and only a 50% chance..makes no sense to me..it has definitely gotten cold out there though
well here’s hoping that is wrong..I want, NO I NEED snow this time around ha
Thanks Mr. Corbin…hope they do post, I gotta get off here, eat and do some exercising..I’m gonna be a blob watching the blog all the time 🙂
no nam only goes out 84 hours he is the gfs though for the next 120 hrs
http://wxcaster4.com/gfs/CONUS_GFS0P5_SFC_ACCUM-SNOW_120HR.gif
I think 1-3″s for Corbin is a good bet by Thursday evening.
just flurries now 🙁
lol its ridiculous for lex bcause earlier it was 33 and wet and now subfreezing it is too dry, the dome is multi-facited
I come here for weather and great friends. You have a problem lady, and no one wants to hear rude remarks.
You’re the best! Thanks. I learn something every time I come here. It looks to say that we may get more! I want to believe…..
so do you think 3 to 8 is realistic for rowan county/Morehead?
lol thanks! latest name likes cky odds for adding some decent totals, mom says about 2 inches in south lex, maybe a litle less
I’m on the get Betty’s snide remarks off the blog bandwagon.
NWS Jackson just placed Letcher and Harlan counties under a WINTER STORM WARNING:
http://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=KYZ118&warncounty=KYC133&firewxzone=KYZ118&local_place1=Isom+KY&product1=Winter+Storm+Warning
nws in jackson says with the upslope flow we here in floyd co. could see 3 to 8 by thurs. woo hoo !!!!!
snowing once again got just over 2 inches with a cold rain after midnight last night. I’m in agreement with chris that lmk needs an advisory for the bluegrass and louisville areas.
Not sure what you are looking at. Looks to me like it is getting larger and more intense. Plus Lexington has a relative humidity of 89%.
In my area of Louisville, we have about 7 inches of snow on the ground and it has begun snowing again. More importantly, the wind is blowing quite hard. The snow is blowing around and it is a very wintry scene.
I hope Chris can discuss the Sunday event. Both the NAM and GFS paint a nice picture into Kentucky. Guess it would qualify as another Miller B/Manitoba mauler.
They usually do make it eventually, but usually there’s a new post from Chris by then, so everybody has moved on.
🙂 at least that has been my experience…
…VERY COLD TEMPERATURES…ICY ROADS…AND BURSTS OF SNOW
TONIGHT…
A COLD FRONT IS SWEEPING THROUGH THE REGION THIS EVENING…
USHERING IN MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES. TEMPERATURES ARE DROPPING
THROUGH THE 20S THIS EVENING AND WILL DROP INTO THE TEENS OVERNIGHT.
THIS MAY CAUSE WET AND SLUSHY ROADS TO REFREEZE LEADING TO SLICK
ROAD CONDITIONS. TRAVEL CONDITIONS COULD BECOME EXTREMELY
ICY…ESPECIALLY ON WET SIDE STREETS AND COUNTRY ROADS.
IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN TONIGHT.
SUSTAINED WINDS OF 15 TO 20 MPH WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS 35 MPH WILL BE
POSSIBLE BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. WIND CHILLS WILL BOTTOM OUT TONIGHT
BETWEEN 5 BELOW TO 5 ABOVE. DRESS WARM IF VENTURING OUT OVERNIGHT.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST…SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP ASSOCIATED
WITH THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WHICH IS PUSHING THROUGH THE REGION.
MOST LOCATIONS WILL PICK UP BETWEEN A QUARTER OF AN INCH TO AN
INCH AND A HALF OF THE WHITE STUFF.
agree with chris fro lou and lex areas over 1 by tommorow afternoon seems likely which is adv level. impact will be there as well.
To anyone who knows, what are the criteria for a winter storm watch, warning, and winter weather advisory. Just curious. I think I have seen that a warning means 4 or more inches of snow but not sure about that or any of the others.
I feel your giddiness. Snow has the same affect on me and I’m almost 39.
Thanks in advance.
snowing here again in paris, looks like we will get enough snow to cancel schools, radar is growing and growing
Light snow falling in Lex. now. Kids keep asking me if I think there will be school tomorrow. May not be with real cold temps and wind chill and if we get a bit of snow.
SNOW PICTURE:
http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd227/coloradofella/snooo.jpg
yep thats me
Snow started falling in southwest Magoffin County at about 6:30 p.m. Therefore I take back all the bad things I said about my boy Chris. Oh wait, I didn’t say them in public. Never mind. It’s cold here too
Flash freeze now in full effect in Louisville winds are gusting temp is 23 degrees a 9 degree drop in a hour time snowing out and now winds are picking the snow up from the ground what a mess 7 inches on the ground not including the snow showers we are getting
I saw just saw a few minutes ago that they have now upped the total to 4 to 9
Snowing pretty good in Lexington roads are covered already.
Snowing pretty good here in SW Franklin Co. We’ve picked up another 3/4″. Winds are starting to pick up and temp is 29. Get out the extra blanket tonight 😉
Today has been a blast! Decided not to go in this morning and stay home and play with my kiddo. We have made snow angels, a very fat snowman, and even a snow chair! Not to mention a good ol snowball fight. Then it was off for hot chocolate and dry clothes. Tonight—these old bones are feeling it. lol.
Heavy snow shower and windy in Harrodsburg rd area in Lexington
I MAKE THE MOTION TO HAVE BETTY REMOVED FROM THE BLOG! EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OPINION, BUT THIS MORON NEEDS TO GO, AND FAST! CHRIS, DROP THE HAMMER!!!
Finally got a good wet snow. Had so much fun with my son making a snowman, snow angels, even a big snow chair—not to mention the snowball fight! Then it was back in for dry clothes and hot chocolate. Tonight —– my bones are telling me I’m getting older. LOL
Light snow in Berea with a spotty dusting and 1/4″ of ice on sidewalk and deck, temp sitting at 31.6
i want my snow! when will we get our snow in nky?
Snowing hard in Masterson Station in Lexington.
Moderate snow in SE Lex. Have a feeling there will not be school in Lex. tomorrow. Kids will be happy again. Guess I’ll have to get up early again to head off to work in the morning.
Light snow falling in East Bernstadt, starting to accumulate. Temp at 30*.
with the forecast for blowing snow. does this mean it is expected to be a dry snow???
Limited visibility in Garrard right now due to wind and heavy snow the past 15 minutes. It was coming down in sheets as hard as I’ve ever seen for about a 10-min period.
its pouring snow and ice in southern magoffin county
Had a nice squall come through here on the Mercer/Anderson County line. Snowed hard for about an hour..new accumulation of 1/2 inch to inch, but hard to tell due to blowing and drifting.
Storm total (As of 7:30 P.M.) 3 inches overnight plus 1/2 now 3 1/2. About 2 on the ground after the melting today
As soon as the dome decides to come back over Lexington 🙂
Heres the basics, not sure what the difference for our area. Hope that helps.
http://weather.cod.edu/notes/criteria.html
It is now beginning to sleet and snow pretty hard here in Floyd Co.
Moderate snow in NW Lex…!
Looks like another quick 3/4″
Measured 3.5″ this morning when I let the house…
…
I live in Kingston Bernie.We have a light dusting here as well. Do think this is all we get out of this system tonight? Kids sure would like another snow day.
Snowing hard in downtown Winchester, good sized flakes. Looks like we have an inch of new snow out there already. PRETTY! 🙂
Moderation. I hate that. I rarely post and I had a question.
WOW!! The snow is coming down pretty good and the wind is blowing like crazy…being a teacher in Fayette County I would like to know tonight if will not have school instead of getting woke up with the call at 4am!! Any opinions if we will be in school tomorrow and are we going to get more than a couple of inches of snow out of this??
LOL the dome does indeed live, thats why i had to flee before i lost my sanity, what little i had left
Um VINNY
U must have missed the complete white out a few minutes ago……It was wild! Still snowing moderately….Very wintry looking out 🙂
that band of snow showers over southwestern ky is training right over my house with an inch on the ground now in bowling green. big round of applause to nws lmk for not issuing those adv’s.
I am too Tommy enjoy your snow and maybe Pikeville will get in some snow love soon right now its snizzle!!!!
the dome bothers many of you today but it bothered me on into the spring and into july and august, i live for winter baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mitch make up your mind, which is it adv’s or not…

Put a fan out the door and blow it to me in Pikeville lol
It was crazy….I couldn’t see the house across the street.
Get a life. He obviously is now agreeing with the decision. I for one appreciate him saying so. This blog is great, but the snipping is making me TIRED.
All hail the NWS!!! haha
Or it could have been sarcasm — either way I’m still tired of the childish biting remarks.
Heavy snow in Berea, gusty wind driven, temp sitting at 30.6.
Snowing in Georgetown. Streets are starting to get covered. What is the call for snow for us overnight?
well we have about a half inch of snow on the ground, and it is snowing still…lightly, at the moment. Temp is 30 degrees, and wind chill is 19 at the moment, and I am not sure the front has passed us yet….
I did see where our WWA has been extended until Thursday morning….hmmmm.
Well, time for NCIS…check in later.
its sarcasm
Thunder?? in Waco? Very windy, alot of snow blowing everywhere.
ok seeing snow flurries in GUNCHESTER, 30 degrees.
my prediction of a EPIC FLOOD STILL STANDS, I am very concern bout spring and a DEASTEROUS FLOOD IN S/SE KY.
going be like MARCH WEATHER, if ur lucky and get under one of the showers u might put a inch or so down, if not it very scattered after this intial band moves thru and then it be UPSLOPE snow is all u see and that be for border counties in farrrrrrrr SE KY/
I agree — Bring out the big hurt!
Hey Chris!!!!!!! I found my SNOW !!!! I just looked outside and ground is covered and it is coming down so hard I cannot see my neighbors house!All I can say is ….WOW !!!!
The blue on the radar obviously means blue skies. No snow. No warnings… der.
Party in New Orleans!!!!!!!!
Just came in from the great outdoors and i’m telling you the road are VERY VERY SLICK
HOLY Crap….Serious blizzard stuff goin on here off 421 in Berea. 421 is covered, winds are blowing snow around like crazy, and this band has put down nearing 1/2 inch.
WOW!! The snow is coming down pretty good and the wind is blowing like crazy…being a teacher in Fayette County I would like to know tonight if will not have school instead of getting woke up with the call at 4am!! Any opinions if we will be in school tomorrow and are we going to get more than a couple of inches of snow out of this??
LOL If i could I surely would, I don’t mind sharing one bit!
Cars in ditches everywhere, and stuck on hills crazy sight, we had the snowband move through here in campbellsville and visibility went almost whiteout…all the rain we had earlier is frozen on the 19 degree gusty strong winds and its amazingly slick….
POURING the snow in beautiful downtown Richmond and has been for about 40 minutes. Quickly covered roads. Under porch temp. says 25.4. Since I am looking out, it is beautiful but I sure pity anyone on that road right now.
that was the speical weather statement issued by the lmk office. sorry for the confusion but it’s pretty clear the nws dropped the ball on this.
Mother Nature just dropped 1 inch in bourbon county in about an hour, 2 to 4 inches by tomorrow night is a good bet another big area of snow building just east of st louis heading this way you go CB maybe the NWS should hire you
I cant understand why anyone wants to be rude. Betty is a jerk and needs to just leave this blog. PLEASE FOR ALL THE SNOWLOVERS SAKE, LEAVE! Her comments were a little comical at first, but now, betty, you are just getting on everyone’s nerves. You get a life. We are the ones discussing weather since this is a WEATHER BLOG…. uhhh big red truck….
I agree, we had a bad one here in floyd co. may 8 & 9 of 2009, It was the biggest one we have seen since 1984,but I don;t think we have seen what some people call the 25year flood yet. I too also think with the way weather patterns are running we are due for a big time flooding situation this spring
Nature just dropped 1 inch in bourbon county in about an hour, 2 to 4 inches by tomorrow night is a good bet another big area of snow building just east of st louis heading this way you go CB maybe the NWS should hire you
Just starting to snow in Pikeville!!!!!
Snowing in Corbin ..Wind blowing pretty hard temp 30.2
Rolo, I know it seems like im riding on ya today. But, some of the stuff you say aggravates me. The last time we got upslope it snowed all night at my house. and i live just off 80 in Manchester, just as you. So don’t say that the upslope is only for the bordering counties. Because, some people will take your comment seriously and be out when the upslope does hit.
Just drove from Nicholasville to our home. It is extremely slick out there, all the water on the roads has turned into a sheet of ice. I guess all the pre-treatments washed off with the rain. The wind is crazy out there and blowing the snow around like something you see in the movies. Also, we saw a bright flash a little after 8:00, not sure if it was lightning or a transformer blowing.
Snowing in Corbin. The road in front of my house is covered but traffic seems to be moving ok at this time. Winds kicking up as well.
House popping and cracking from the wind blowing.Looked out and it’s whiteout conditions.If you have to be out tonight, please be careful!
white out in corbin ky
snow flying around heavy here in berea just off hwy 25 curent temp is 28 roads are covered. at times its almost blizzard like. drive with caution if u have to otherwise, sit in the warm open the blinds in your picture window and enjoy it will be gone soon 🙂
It snowed hard for a while in the Richmond area, winds blowing hard, but the snow is coming to an end. I just looked at the radar and it looks like it is drying up! Imagine that..cold enough to snow…but air goes dry…what a shocker for Central KY!!! Come on…can we get a break? I bet there is no more snow on the ground in the morning than there is right now…if I was a betting man I would be rich!
Still hopeful though, I just want to see a big snow…so frustrating.
I saw earlier someone asked why central Kentucky can not get a good snow, but I never saw a reply. Can any of you real weather people answer that question?
Looks like we got a 1/2″ or so here in NW Lex from that band that came through. Winds were the real story.
Will there be more to wrap around and come through central Ky tonight or are we pretty much finished with the snow?
amazing how much a few miles will make here in Knox/Barbourville i just have a few flurries
Looks like a blizzard in northern clay at the moment.
teacherman I would like to know the answer to that also. I think the snow we got 2 wks ago is about the best madison co is going to get and that was a shock.
Will more snow be coming through central KY tonight or have we seen all we are going to get tonight?
Snow is long gone and nothing is behind it. I don’t understand what a winter storm warning means exactly, but I don’t think we’re going to get one in east KY. From now on I’m only going to depend on what I see falling from the sky.
There is some crazy lightning and thunder going on in Powell County!!!! It looks like a blizzard outside!!! WOOOHOOO
Wind chill is 1 degree in Lawrenceburg.
Thanks for your post…I, too, heard thunder and thought I had lost my mind. In Menifee County it is snowing heavily and it’s blowing everywhere!
It completly freaked me out my front yard lit up like it was noon twice with LOUD claps of thunder!!
Me, too! I didn’t know what to think. I opened up the door and looked out and heard thunder rumble again all the while snow was blowing in like crazy!
It is wind chill 0* in Hustonville with a temperature of 17.
Hey Chastity, How’s it lookin’ down your way????
Snowin’ some here, porch is covered. I can’t see the road though. Driveway is covered as well.
Wind is crankin’ up too.
Come on CATS!!!!!!!!!!
WWA has just been issued for Louisville it will expire at 4pm Wednesday 14 degrees at Louisville stiff wind gusts to 25 clear sky’s right now which has caused the temp to plummett real quick like. Snow covered roads due to blowing and drifting.
Temp says 28, but we have a blizzard going on outside. It is FOGGING down the snow, and the winds are blowing it everywhere! have not heard any thunder, but I have seen some very heavy snow coming down, and with the gusty winds, it is abolutely a white out! Saw someone stop outside to make the turn at the corner, and he slid sideways with very little effort…folks it is slick out there!
Schools are closed Wednesday in Fayette County.
Hey Alton, if you go to the radar, click on enlarge, and then click on the state of Ohio,
wait until it loads, and then animate it, you will see where the warning is coming from.
It’s coming this way.
WXman, are you expecting any more snow tonight for Anderson/Woodford? The wind is really blowing here in Woodford Co. I noticed the schools have already cancelled for tomorrow.
Could someone tell me if this line moving through is the end of the snow….or will the upslop kick in later on?? Thanks in advance!!
Complete white out in Morehead cannot see the house about 1000 feet behind me in the subdivision.
what subdivision is that Justin…I live out on 32 and it’s the same way out this way…wind really wicked and snow is coming down hard, already have close to inch where I had previously shoveled.
HAMMER TIME TO THIS GUY TOO
Hey Shanks!
It’s snowing here as well. Looks to be about 1/4″ on the ground. My road is already covered. I think it’s a safe bet we’re gonna end up with yet another snow day tomorrow.
Thunder and lightning strikes here!
No sooner than I post that, Laurel is called off tomorrow! 😉
Boyle County- 18* short heavy snow burst last few hours additional accum estimated of at least one half inch.
I guess it’s better late than never. WWA out for Lexington and others now
Nate…where did you see this? Not on the SNOGO report yet. ??
where did u see this Not posted yet on SnoGO….. New Winter weather advisory out Clark CO included until 4 PM WED 19 degrees now and windy
FCPS Facebook site has schools closed.
Is the snow over for central Kentucky?
Blizzard like conditions here in Magoffin County right now. Snowing and blowing so hard that I can’t see the neightbor’s house!
Thnx
Snow’s really coming down now in Johnson County near the Floyd Cty line.
Anyone on here like to read? I’m reading Shutter Island, and it is awesome! Scary!
Can’t wait to see the movie.
weather conditions are terrible in the Corbin area. It got bad really quickly. I don’t know how much snow accumulation we’ll end up with though because it is snowing sideways.
I tried to ask the same question twice, but got sent to moderation both times! Go figure. I still don’t know the answer.
East end of Morehead across from Rodburn. Snow has let up but winds are still cranking.
Thunder and lightning here south of hazard. really heavy bands of snow. the hardest i have ever saw.

Thunder and lighting in a snow storm in Feb. This is both awesome and scary at the same time. My outside pets are running around all excited. The snow is blowing sideways. We have a quick half inch on the ground in just minutes.
Thank you all for the blog. I check in and read but never comment. Love reading your stuff on the weather.
looks like a Blizzard in south magoffin
It has gotten WICKED over the past couple hours down here in Adair County! We have maybe a little over an inch of snow with a shallow layer of ice underneath. The wind is howling and the snow is sticking to everything. Just picked up on a heavier snow shower within the last few minutes too!
Really snowing hard here in Floyd co. nearly whiteout conditions. Already covered ground and roads with about a half inch of snow in a matter of just a few minutes. Can’t remember ever seeing it come down and cover things this quick!
We have probably an inch and a half on the ground. Still snowing, but has let up somewhat from what it was. Temp is now at 19, with a wind chill of 7. Looked out a minute ago and a car was going by,and it was blowing so hard, it looked like a white cloud outside.
Cats look like they are NOT ready to play…..again! Another free throw missed….BIG sigh….
Whiteout!!!!! Bell. County 32
Its pouring the snow in Pikeville winds are fierce and the LEGEND lives on as Rolo would say!!!!!!!!!!
That radar loop of snow over the entire state of Michigan looks like it is just sitting and spinning. Does anybody else notice that? It looks like it could throw snow at us for a long time as long as it just sits there.
Thoughts?
Whiteout conditions 1/2 inch in less than 10 mins
Yeah I’m out towards the Fleming county line, It’s still windy as hell, but the snow has let up, I just don’t see us the getting the amount they are still forecasting.the cold air is zapping the moisture …but yet they extended the warning till thursday morning..go figure..guess we will know when we wake up,which is how we usually find out around here haha
Where u at in south Magoffin? I am in Floyd, but I am only a few miles from magoffin, just wondering
Snow coming down with periodic thunder claps.
Jared I heard that too was kind of scary but its pouring here in Pikeville.
near gunlock/hueysville areas
No school tomorrow for Bell County. Still snowing.
Madison county schools are still not closed. the roads on US 25 between Berea and Richmond at 8:30 were so bad you couldnt see the road. Hope they call it off soon. If not there will be lots of accidents tomorrow
Pikeville Independent is closed tomorrow according to wymt did anyone else see that?
I live right in Hueysville right out from post office
yeap its closed just saw it
Cold as heck, and wind is blowing a gale. Not snowing at the moment in downtown Winchester. We had a good inch, but now it’s hard to tell, since anything that was not frozen to the ground from last night’s snow/rain/refreeze is blown to who knows where.
Fayette and Clark out, LCHS and SAA followed shortly thereafter. YES! Sensible decisions. There is great rejoicing in my house. And I don’t have to lay awake till 5:30am hearing texts coming in. 🙂
snowy and windy here in manchester..love it baby, no school tomar…sleeping late…bring on about 6 more inches!!! :))))
Well, the snow seems to have done its usual skipping around south Jessamine. We actually have less snow now than when I left for work this morning. We had 3-4″ then, but may have 2″ now after the rain, with clearing skies. Can’t seem to catch a break. If this is what is gonna keep happening, then please bring on spring!
Wow, has it ever been snowing here north of Hazard. Thunder too!
The NWS just came out with an updated winter weather warning for Johnson co. from now until Wed night we should get from 5″-11″ of snowfall, it is not supposed to stop at least until Monday which is as far as they have forecast out too. I wonder if Chris will give us another update tonight?
Oh yeah the NWS said travel would be very difficult and dangerous tomorrow if not impossible, everyone drive safe if you need to go somewhere.
looks like we WONT have no big snow coming this week due to it going too far south James Spann has a awesome youtube video talking about it
Give it time, Sue. I think they’ve just dropped the ball, or are a little late. Sometimes the school districts wait until early morning to make the announcement. Every county surrounding Madison is closed right now…
That, and I had a hard time driving on my way out of work. The road crews would have to go up every road between now and 5:30 to clear them all off, and that’s just not going to happen.
The chances of Madison county getting out again tomorrow are pretty high. 90%.
1.3 inches new fluffy snow temp at 9 now very windy DRIFTS of about 20 or so inches in the front yard. i love snow!
Captain Phil Harris from Deadliest Catch passed away tonight. RIP Captain Phil.
We are both about the same age… I am 19. I thought I loved snow, but you really do! I love reading your enthusiasm no matter what anyone else says, lol.
I still have my thin FL blood where I moved back and a vacation to there sounds very nice. But I can’t help to love when it falls even if I do freeze.
wow! we got about an inch of snow in less than 20 minutes earlier.temp was around 30 at 8 pm it dropped to 19 by 8.30.The wind is wicked! Everyone stay safe!!!!
Knox Co,Barbourville Independant,Bell Co.Harlan Co,all closed tomorrow.Whitley isn’t listed yet but give it time.Thought I heard thunder earlier but I have a really bad cold so I wasn’t sure/After reading this blog I know it probably was.
My granny use to say if it thundered in Feb,it would frost in May,think I’ll mark my calender.
But I have been wrong before……
In Wolfe County we got about 2-3 inches. Roads are covered snowing hard snow plow should be going up soon been about 3-4 hours since it’s been through here.
