Good Wednesday evening gang. What an awesome looking and feeling day across the state as temps made it to near 60 in many areas under partly sunny skies. Not too bad! I have to admit that I am sooooo ready for spring. 
True spring is still a ways away as we have a lot of winter still to go before we can get there. Old man winter will be showing up in a big way this weekend and early next week for a lot of folks across the region and for much of the country as arctic air moves in spawning a big winter storm.
The questions remain as to where this low will develop and track.
The poor GFS continues to be out of the loop so there is no reason to show it. The European and Canadian models continue to lead the way with this storm as they have been all over it for several days now. Let’s take a look at what they are showing.
We will start with the European model which has come back to what its Canadian friend has been saying… a farther west track.
Saturday Morning
Sunday Morning
Monday Morning
That model brings a strong upper level closed low over us later Saturday into Sunday and would be a good snow producer. You also notice the arctic air pouring in as well.
How about the Canadian? Here goes…
Saturday Afternoon
Saturday Evening
Saturday Night
Sunday Morning
So… those two models are very similar for the weekend. Now it’s a matter of seeing how this whole thing plays out and the blog will keep you updated on how the models are looking. Thursday should be the big day in terms of them latching on to what this storm wants to do.
I will have a full update tonight so check back. Take care.

Thanks Chris…keep us posted and GO BIG BLUE!! 🙂
THanks C.B for the early evening update, man i was hoping you would drop us a bone before the evening was over…
I just noticed to that J.B. at accu. just posted on his blogsite that the gfs ensembles are trending west also, and he said that (HE) thought…(just one man’s opinion)…that it looked like right now that the heaviest snow would fall from the central plains east to the central app. then northeast…So you can take it how ever you like…but it sure looks like things are coming together for something BIG this weekend, I just hope that BIG includes my backyard…lol…
WOW, Chris, you’re really ON THE BALL here lately w/ the posts, aren’t ya!!:) I LOVE IT!!! Thanks for all you’re still doing for us hapless, hopeless snow-lovers here in NC/Central/E KY…LOL!;)I absolutely LOVE your very detailed posts…what in the heck would we all do WITHOUT you??!:)(We’d be “unhappy”..lol..)
I am still thinking that we can lay down some decent snowfall this w/e, even though most models and/or WxCasters do not seemingly AGREE?! Rolo made a good point in an earlier post,I believe, how most of our BEST SNOWS seem to come in mid-Feb./Mar.??! I am definitely old enough to recall plenty of those “BIG-A**” snows back in the late 70’s/early 80’s!;)-Nothing NICER than waking up to those “purply” skies and heavy wet snow falling knee-deep…my Mom worked full-time, but every evening, she’d wrap my feet & legs in plastic “dry-cleaning bags” my Grandpa brought home from work, and we’d go play in the snow around 6pm til dark….heck, I was well into my TEENS by then..lol! I can’t wait until my little girl is old enough to do the same with me!!!!:)
I am starting to get a little excited but I hope their is enough cold air to work with
looks quite interesting but northwest trend may give i7o the snow, we will see
So I asked the Magic 8 Ball what would happen this weekend for kicks and giggles… results are on my blog.
look like we might be mad down this way tim, right now we are in luck though, but as we get closer the westward trend will BITE US IN THE ARSEOLA.
We will probably have the moisture but it will be to warm for snow. It will be a cold nasty rain. Or it might be a smack down because some of us are looking forward to spring and baseball.
I definitely agree about the baseball! Today’s first ST games really got me wanting spring.
BASEBALL SUCS, really baseball hasnt mattert to me since the 80s..
It is very boring to watch but I have two young boy’s that enjoy it and it is something I can do with them. I need to try and be with them while I can they will be gone before I know it.
thats great rapped, enjoy all u can with them.
I disagree about the baseball sucking, but, of course, everyone has an opinion of their own.

7pm on WKYT or wymt.
Thanks Rolo.What are you and Mitch thoughts? Shane or Michael Mj Wxman jump in? What is most likely for east Ky is it cold rain lol?? Talking this weekend I know if you knew that you guys would be rich men!!!!! Off to the CATS!!!!!!
Wow was I mistaken..Thought we were playing basketball tonight. Hello NIT.
all on Billy tonight
1. no preparation especially on defense
2. very inconsistant from game to game again on the coach
3. the biggest game of the year and the team can’t be motivated to show up
FIRE BILLY may be coming very soon.
More evidence for my conspiracy theory. The SEC is crooked. Protect your team with a chance for a national championship in football, but by all means lets get as many teams from the conference in the big dance as possible. The officiating in the first half of that game was hideous.
Only six months ’till football season…..
What does it mean when a “track further West” is showing?
Thanks for the tidbit to chew on Chris! Looks like someone is going to have a busy weekend weather wise. Even though it will be March, I still would not mind seeing a good snow. Ah well…no hopes up here. I ‘ll wait to see what it actually does before I get excited.
The way the CATS are playing tonight, we need SOMETHING to get excited about. They are really stinking up the place! Gonna have to find something else to watch if it gets any worse.
In any event, really looking forward to the next update, Chris. I know you will keep us posted.
Okay… Kentucky is lost tonight, whoever thinks Pat is going NBA this season is clueless… The guy is 6’8 and gets swatted all the time by 6’6-6’7 guys… He is great, but not NBA material right now…
GO SNOW AND CATS!
Three HUGE things that will kill the Cats- besides Billy’s schizophrenic coaching. Sorry Rolo- Cats NEED 21 games.
1) Weak SEC
2) Weak RPI
3) Poor play in the final ten games- The committee has said time and again that the last ten games are weighted heavily.
Anyone notice that Billy G looks like Squiggy from the show, Laverne and Shirley?
The only man off this team that I hope goes to the NBA is Billy G.
This coach is in over his head, if you can’t see that, well, you’re blind…
…
LOL Bubba my husband has said that from day 1, he even calls him squiggy, thats to funny
Wow! What a game! 🙁
So it is not my imagination!
If Billy G wore a black leather jacket and greased his hair back- it would be uncanny! 🙂
i have to agree i have even more reasons than the three i listed to.
ive met billy g a few times every time i talk to him its like you dont seem like you would know about basketball
Hey guys-I won’t bother you with the details but I’ve got to make weekend plans tomorrow based on this question-which day this weekend would appear to be more of a day for golf in the London area–Saturday or Sunday or neither-my plans (and my better half) are waiting for your thoughts. Thanks
So Snow or what.
Neither, even if we don’t get the big snow storm some of the models are showing, it’s not going to be good golfing weather in London all weekend.
Hi folks! Another great day. The only bad part is I had to work most of it. Even a warm 51 this morning at 1am.
At the moment I am not as optimistic as some for weekend significant snow. But this time of year is known for fickled weather. You can hear those thoughts at http://mjhdp.tripod.com/stormtracker/index.html
I am the most beautiful and glamorous!
