Hello all! We are seeing something very cool taking place across the region right now. Heavy bands of sleet and snow are quickly moving through the area and we are getting accumulations even with temps above freezing. Where the precip is the heaviest… it is pulling down enough cold air for all snow and it is heavy at times. It is snowing faster than it can melt and is leading to accumulations of a quick inch of two.
This will also create some slick travel in a very short period of time as slush accumulates on roads faster than it can melt. You can track the wintry weather here…
Help out the blog and your fellow weather lovers by posting what is going on where you live. Take care.

REPOST
I’m seeing more snow then ice pellets now, I think the transition in Berea is starting. Temp has dropped to 36.9°
It’s not doing anything here at East Point right now, CB…but the map shows we’re covered in green. What’s up with that? Is it verga?
I have to laugh at this listing from the Weather Channel on the weather in my area:
“36 degrees…Rain in the vicinity”
How’s that for covering your tracks,lol.
Significant ice event in SW Fayette county. Roads covered, hazardous driving conditions. Wow this is something else….to bad I listened to the NWS’s forecast of just rain 😉
“OLD MAN WINTER WILL OWN THEM SOON”
NWS projected low for me tonight, 36… currently, 33… hummmm
…
I have pics of that fast snow in NW lex… wow… i got excited, but now its a cold rain… melting it all away… interesting weather!!
Sleet mixing back in with the snow, but still mainly a snow event here at the moment.
NWS Jackson finally decided to issue a special weather statement….
The precip in the vicinity finally made it to my vicinity…only it’s sleet, not rain…and snowflakes are mixed in.
I have a bad feeling…I don’t want any ice for anyone.
Nothing but Rain here Chris in good old Morgan Co.
Deepest snow of the season in Gtown, but a quick change to rain has washed most of it away. Temp is 33.
Still snowing in Southern Bourbon County. Possible going near 1/4 of an inch.

Snow covered roads here in Campton, Ky. What a nice way to end the day.
Snowing to beat the band here on Lakeville in Magoffin County! The roads and ground are covered and it’s coming down hard right now!
No longer raining snowing hard right now Chris you are good all the other was saying rain…..
The guy on wkyt said there could be a mix at time. But not taking away from what you said about Chris, he is good. Who else post info about weather at 3 in the morning. The guy never sleeps.
36 in Pikeville.Rain sleet,and a few snow flakes mixed in.
JKL just gave an update 1″ east of I-75 with up to 2″ in the mountains
It’s snowing here now, coming down fast and starting to stick in spots. Wonder how long it will last?
Big snowflakes mixing in with the sleet now in Pikeville.
Sorry I thought TG said it would be all rain that’s what make Chris the best not only is he great at this weather stuff he’s always there when we need him no matter what time of night…
It is pouring the snow now in Pikeville big flakes,wonder how long it will last?
Crystal, Its been pouring here in Morgan Co but its starting to change back to rain we have around a inch of snow…..
Thought I would start commenting on here again. I moved from Nicholasville down to Florida May 2008 and this past December 12th moved back up here. I am excited for this winter and hope to see some bigger snows than the small dustings we have had since I have moved back.
Earlier tonight around 1130 it has switched over to snow and was sticking to non-paved areas. It sadly turned back to rain and as washed all away except for some ice on the cars. It was only 35 when it was snowing so the flakes were huge and fluffy.
I don’t know when it got here or how hard it came down, but our entire yard is covered in slush here in eastern Bourbon County. It’s 36 degrees per Lauren on the WKYT early news show. That is very odd.
It looks like we will not be getting a lot of rain, which is great.
