Good Saturday everyone and welcome to an arctic weekend in the bluegrass state! Many areas got in on a light, fluffy snow overnight to go along with the coldest temps of the season. Throw in some winds and you have the making of a good old fashioned arctic weekend. This is the beginning of what should be one heck of a winter weather week ahead of us.
Today will feature some leftover flurries or snow showers… especially in the east. Temps will struggle back into the low 20s and winds will be very gusty leading to single digit wind chills. You can track both of those here…
Current Temps
Wind Chill
Temps later tonight will drop toward the single digits in many areas. Winds will continue to be on the breezy side leading to wind chill readings from 0 to -10. This is in the danger category so take all necessary precautions.
Sunday will see more of the same with highs in the upper teens and low 20s with a mix of sun and clouds. A few flurries or snow showers will be possible once again… especially in the east and north.
A much better northwesterly wind flow off of Lake Michigan will setup by later Monday into Tuesday. This will combine with a weak disturbance to bring a better shot of accumulating snows for much of the region. Temps will remain COLD with low teens by night and low 20s by day.
This will bring us to an arctic system that will move through the region Thursday into Friday and should bring a widespread arctic snowfall that can lay down a few to several inches of powder. Here is what the GFS shows…
Thursday Morning
Thursday Afternoon
Those would be some very high snow ratios with arctic air in place and even colder air pouring in. Backlash snows would then carry us for a couple more days. Can we go below 0 next weekend? Hmmm… it’s a thought. 
I will have more updates as needed later today so check back. Have a great Saturday and GO BIG BLUE!!!
Take care.

GOO BIG BLUE!!
Mornin Bernie
Goodmorn! Andy Happy to see you awake! Let’s hope we get the BIG DADDY this week! 😉
Been off for a couple of weeks only to get flurries and a cold rain. I’ll return to work and we’ll finally get a good snow. My luck. GO CATS eat those birdies.
central KY is gonna need it to get the totals predicted but i hope everybody gets it and as cold as its gonna be it shouldn’t be any of that heavy wet snow.
What are you playin now ?
I guess the news for the day is cold, Cold, COLD. Power has been flickering here this morning (Nerea, Ky) – Could this be caused by the cold temps? Very strange.
Still playing Call of Duty 4 – My ID is SnakeEyes if you still have it, let me know we’ll hookup sometime.. look for the server called “Custom Original Mix”
i figured you had switched to something newer by now lol
i haven’t played it in ages really not into playing games like i use to be
Morning Bernie, and Andy. glad to see I am not the only one up, but I must be the latest one! Its a cold 16 here this morning, with a wind chill of 3. Ihave to go to work here in about an hour,so I am drinking extra coffee. 😉
We saw light snow overnight (around 12:30, hubby says…I was in bed) but it must have been so dry that it blew away with the winds.
Lisa, your power issues could come from wind that is putting a limb or something on the lines. Just a thought.
Well, gotta get ready to go to work, Will check in with you good peeps later! Oh yeah, and GO BIG BLUE!!!!!
Thanks a bunch for the reply, Coffeelady. Must be a limb somewhere – but whole neighborhood’s power on/off all morning… about 6 times now over the last couple of hours. Interesting start to what sounds like a Winter Week.
Have a good day at work, thanks again. Lv
still got some flurry action here and the ground is covered
lol I know what ya mean.. I think COD 4 is about the best game still.. I have COD 5 but hardly play it other then the zombie maps, they are pretty good if you can get some good players helping. Hard to play solo, too many zombies to kill! lol
Mornin JavaLady! 😉 Hope you have a wonderful day!!
I hope the BIG DADDY comes for us this week!
Lisa, maybe everybody is cranking up the heat and that’s causing a bit of fluctuation in the power. Is that what they call a “brown out” in the summer when cities lose power due to A/C overload? Whatever the reason, I hope it’s resolved!
zombies in COD5 hmm i had no clue LOL last thing i played that had zombies was left4dead
Close to 2 inches on the ground here this morning.
Hey everyone – thanks again for the prompt replies… this is a great group of peeps!
Just an update on the power flickering in Berea… KP was absolutely right! I just got off the phone with the power company and the breakers were being overloaded. They’ve bypassed this, that, yadda yadda – bottom line: fixed.
Everyone enjoy today’s bgame.

A few flakes here in Gtown with a thin ground coating. Nothing on radar, but it is coming down.
Go little blue??? NOT! GO CARDS! Baby blue brother will be exposed as fraudulent today! Paper tigers. Now, on to the more important stuff: bring on that mid week system and SNOW!

Getting some pretty good snowshowers here in the Barbourville area right now, visibility is down quit a bit…LOOKS GOOD!!!!!!!:)
You got that right, Tim. Their blood is too thin to handle that type of cold.
Little RED has to choose it’s poison.. D.Cousins,J.Wall,D.Orton,P.Patterson, D. Miller gonna clip them little birdies wings, so they have to walk back to Looserville!!! Gonna make Patino jealous remembering when he was coaching BIG BLUE back in the day! lol 😉
GOOO BIG BLUE!!!
Hey Tim I am in Barbourville right now but I need to head towards Leslie County. Do you or anybody know anything about the road conditions around Barbourville, Manchester or Hyden. Thanks in advance.
What is that white fluffy stuff falling from the sky? lol. Woke up to a light dusting here in Frankfort this morning. Hope we get the BIG ONE this week! GO BIG BLUE!
A good burst of snow showers going on right now here in Ravenna. Ground is covered. Map shows that this won’t last long, we’re on the western end of the snow and it will be moving on. Nice while it lasts!
That white fluffy stuff is Tim’s dandruff!! ohh did I say that outloud!!? lol 😉
chris…if your seeing what im seeing out my window this morning it looks bad, REAL HEAVY SNOW FALLING IN DOWNTOWN B-VILLE RIGHT NOW…I THINK AN ADVISORY WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA THERE NWS!!!!….ROADS AND GROUND ARE SNOW COVERED HERE IN KNOX CO…at least where im at, and snow is coming down hard!!!!
Thanks Chris! We have flurries putting a dusting down in Versailles. Nothing showing up on radar. It’s beautiful!
temp 17.3
SHAKE,,,RATTLE,,AND ROLL !!!!…LOL..:)
Even the dusting we got here in Madison County has covered the roads here, they look pretty slick at the moment. Wake up NWS get them coffee and donuts going! 🙂
Sun breaking through in NW LEX. Too bad it doesn’t mean it’ll warm up.
ummm…I would call this an UNDER THE RADAR SNOW, because its not showing on radar here, but its flat out pouring…
yeah Tim pretty weird how radar doesn’t pick up on all levels of the atmosphere….we can get a very moist system move in and the radar shows verga first and nothing is hitting the ground and when its very cold like it is now the radar don’t show anything and its snowing out….lol…it’s been light here in campbellsville but coming down all morning and nothing on radar…lol
Good morning. Light snow on Ducker’s Lake this morning. Normally talk of snow doesn’t bother me, but I have to drive to NC on Thursday for a wedding. Do I leave on Wednesday or Thursday depending on the snow predictions? Unsure what day to leave. Needless to say, I will be watching this blog for updates.
I just drove back from Cookeville, TN this morning, and I drove in snow the whole way. When I got to the Daniel Boone Parkway, wow! It was snow covered to Hazard. In some places, only one lane was clear. The slow lane was snowed over. When I got to Hazard, it was like a winter wonderland. I slid some coming up the hill to my house, but I made it.
*If* UofL pulls this one out, Big Blue nation will have a meltdown! I’ve never seen UK fans more cocky…and that goes way back during the great 1996 team, who was coached by the legendary Ricky P
I will never forget reading the paper and seeing a blurb titled “Raccoon Man Shot”. I sat there for several seconds trying to figure out what it meant. I was thinking along the lines of Bigfoot.
Snowing like crazy here in Bourbon County.
12z GFS brings the precip a little farther north and west. Lets hope the trend continues.Anyone else who has access and can read other models, what are they saying?
well the 12z run of the gfs is out, and our thursday system is a bit stronger on this run…especially for parts of arkansas,louisiana,mississippi and alabama, and YES TEXAS AGAIN!!! these areas could get a good snowstorm out of this system,,,yeah I know BLAH,BLAH,BLAH…so hopefully we’ll get our share too…:)
Tim, lets hope it continues to show up stronger and with a northerly trend.
ME too, Bernie! Me too! We’ve had flurry action all morning, and it has made the ground white a couple fo times. Temp is holding on at 18 with a wind chill of 7. BRRRR!!! Hoping we get the big daddy, too! If it’s gonna be cold, it might as well snow!
same trend that has occured with many systems this winter on the gfs the storm we had a few days ago the gfs had much less qpf then what actually fell 5 days out.
J.B. posted on a noon update on his blog that the 12z was trying to come around to what may happen, he thinks more energy will be focused on the northern half of the system and not so much down south as the gfs is showing, he thinks there will be more of a low coming through the ohio and tn. valley instead of a low in the gulf states, which in turn gives us a GREAT SHOT OF ACCUMULATING SNOW!!!…((( IF ))) it all works out just right…FINGERS CROSSED XX…:)
Paper tigers? i didnt’ know the cards were playing Memphis or is that LSU
roads are fine now i just got back from Corbin they are clear there was a bit of a coating this morning but outside of that they wasn’t bad
man that forecasted high of near 25 for my area seems a long ways off, since we havent even cracked 20 yet at almost 1pm.. brrrrr!!!
cloudy, with flurries still flying around
18*
We’ll get some snow out of that system…but we won’t get much. It’s got to pull moisture in from quite a distance and I just don’t see the atmospheric setup being one that could dump a ton of snow here.
Are you talking about John Belski’s blog? I didn’t see a noon update on that blog.
I went from 15 to 14 in the past hour…
We will have a hard time reaching the 21 that NWS forecast for Lex…
…
Tim.. Temp is hovering in the lower 20s in my neck of the woods. Just got back from downtown and snow coming down pretty good.
Madison County – Berea
Flurries
22.6°
thanks alot you just messed it up for us 😉 you need to keep saying the opposite 😉 just like warmer than normal Dec and no accumulating snows earlier this week 😉
Mabye it was Joe Bastardi. Though I didn’t see a noon update on that one either.
Snow flurries in bursts and gusts here at Clay’s Ferry. Mother Nature is such a teaser! Chunking in the fire wood like crazy-consider that my exercise for today.
We have had snow showers and snow flurries all day here, and the temp had not gone above 19. In fact, it is STILL at 19, with flurries at present. Winds have let up a bit though…wind chill here is now at 10.
Already know that I am wearing a long skirt, boots, and my long johns to church in the AM. between the long skirt, and the boots, the lj’s won’t be seen, but they WILL be felt! 😉
Okay, time to get settled in to watch the CATS and the Cards. GO BIG BLUE!!!!
And Tim, lets hope that the forecast discussion you saw was correct, and we get the good stuff this week! We can hope. GO CATS!!!
with some alluring features gucci wallets fake beautiful yet functional This tote is a great example replica handbags with some funky cutout decoration but a practical and inoffensive look Tan is great for coordinating with any outfit whilst the traditional shape is easy to carry and even easier to fill The drawstring closure is a nice touch adding a little extra security and making the size of the bag a little more versatile It is a shame that a purse this useful and workfriendly isnt actually made form the soft slouchy leather that it deserves Instead we are given a soft yet fake
Very informative information, Thanks for sharing.
