Good Friday, everyone. A major winter storm is blowing across the bluegrass and will cause all kinds of issues. This storm has the potential to shutdown parts of the state before the day is over. Throw high winds into the mix, and you have yourselves one heck of a winter storm.
There isn’t much more I can add to this, but I will try:
– Freezing rain starts the storm in southern parts of the state. This can come down hard enough to cause some power issues before it switches over to snow.
– The mix and snow reaches the Interstate 64 corridor near daybreak then slowly works to the north from there. Don’t panic if you wake up and nothing has happened, yet.
-Significant snow totals are likely for most of the state. Amounts can reach a foot or more in the areas I have been outlining.
– Winds will crank up as the day wears on and this will cause blowing and drifting snow. This is what can cause roads to be shut down for a time.
– Thunder is even possible with this event… especially in the south and east.
At this point, It’s all about tracking the progress of the storm and getting real time updates from where you live.

We will have live coverage all day on WKYT-TV. That means I won’t be able to update much, but I will drop by when I can. I will also blow your twitter feeds up.
Help us out by posting the changing weather conditions where you live.
Stay safe and take care.
Thanks
Thinking EKY is about to get slammed
Appreciate the updates.
Thanks CB. Looking like the storm is a little early.
Terry – from your last post – I know what you mean. I stay up too. It’s an obsession with a LOT of us here……
I’ll bet it’s going to be hard for Chris to go home and sleep with all of this going on too….
I’m getting ready to take ZZZquil just so I can sleep..
Thanks, Chris!
I wonder what Chris thinks of the radar returns?…..
Chris,
I hope you get some rest! It is going to be a long 36+ hours! Thanks for taking the time out of your job to post updates.
The trees and power lines are getting some small ice cycles starting here in Harlan–not good. Worst case scenario would be to get a good layer of ice then wet snow to add a lot of weight on everything.
Clay Co. TN,
pretty good glaze of ice and light freezing rain/sleet here along the state line. Temps right about freezing mark. The change over to snow cannot happen soon enough for me or we are in for some big problems.
Im from Lexington but in Clarksville for work this weekend and it got nasty really quick down here. In less than 20 minutes everything has a thin sheet of ice. Small neighborhood roads are horrible and in the 3 miles i had to travel from a friend’s to my hotel i saw 3 accidents. Whats it doing in Lexington now?
Doing absolutely nothing at the moment.
Sleet reported in southern part of clay co, chop bottom area. Nothing in burning springs yet, but will check again in about 10 mins.
Stayed up late to get the update now off to bed with dreams of snow and no ice. Thanks Chris, as always. Hope you get some sleep!
Just started sleeting in Eubank. (Northern Pulaski Co). Praying it switches over to snow quick!
More of a mixture of sleet and freezing rain over in my part of Eubank
Trying to read the data correctly, so correct me if I am wrong, but it jogged south didn’t it?
-posted at 2:24 a.m.
Don’t think I’ve ever commented, but you are one of the few I check for snow. Thank you for all you do…#SnowLover in the state’s #SnowDome #Louavul 😉
Looks like two waves to deal with. The initial push of precip and the deformation bands, or the comma, which looks quite healthy. One concern, some areas will have snow totals reduced by the dreaded dry slot.
Call me crazy, strange, or whatever, but I have always seen freezing rain and sleet as potential snow wasted–kind of in terms as an opportunity cost! The longer this mess lasts, the less the totals will be. I am already guessing we have received at least an inch or two of snow in the form of ice in Harlan. I am wanting the change over early, or if not, we will get much less snow than some of the new model runs are predicting. This storm is going to be insane…I am off to get a few hours of sleep.
Freezing rain and sleet in Corbin
will that big dry slot fill in later.looks like snow totals will be low if not ?
Did the two systems (the one coming from KS and the one over LA/AL) not blend?
They are blending I think.
http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/Conus/Loop/southmissvly_loop.gif
Thanks for the update. Here in Jackson Co. biting at the bit. Too excited to sleep!!’
Just started sleeting!!
Just want to say to CB ans alll of you bloggers, stay safe and stay inside. Here north of incy we are expecting NO SNOW at all. 🙁
I will just have to watch WKYT online to get reports. Good luck SNOW LOVERS….(bawling my eyes out) LOL
Seems to all heavy sleet here in Topmost of Knott county at the moment it seems. The radar on the weather channel shows snow over me but its not switched yet. 24 degrees so hopefully we stay with just sleet and no freezing rain if or when it does switch to snow.
Ok…Lots of blue on the radar here in the Ville. Just Verga falling. Looks like my 1-3 prediction will stand as this is going to be a huge storm for many but not the metro. Going out to throw salt will see what happens. Be safe everyone and thank CB for all you do.
NWS didn’t sound very confident Louisville would reach 4-8” they forecasted. We will see what does or doesn’t happen. Central Kentucky enjoy your 15” of snow and have fun.
What did they say? As of 4:30 this morning, their snow graphic shows most of Jefferson County in the 6-8″ range and Southern part for 8+”.
Basically that they have low confidence anywhere near the Ohio River. Said they would adjust totals later.
The forecast is for it to arrive there around 10am, it’s not supposed to be precipitating right now, everything is on track so far.
But even still, Louisville has potential to bust since it is on northern edge of heavy snow gradient.
Certainly hope Louisville ends up with at least 8″. Sad if it does not after all of this. I thought I read last night it trended north. What did I miss while sleeping? Did it move again.
Thanks for all you do CB!!! Been following the blog for several years now, and your dedication is amazing! Stay safe fellow bloggers! Prayers to all of our public service folks who will have to be be on duty across the state.
heavy freezing rainas of now
Get ready for 400+ comments today! Especially if this post lasts all day.
Went from 3 hours of freezing rain quickly to sleet then wet snow here in Harlan…already about half an inch and pouring with medium sized flakes at the moment.
Very serious icing taking place in Corbin…Tree limbs breaking, utility lines sagging very low. When the wind kicks in I expect most of Whitley county, to lose power.
My sympathies to you. The loss of power is bad enough, but then you have the mess to clean up with all the branches.
I just heard 75 power outages in Knox County where I live. Praying there are no more than that. Be safe everybody.
Trees are maxed out right now, falling and breaking everywhere..Snow will wreck total havok on the power grid
ice stopped..snow started bad news all around in Whitley County. I’d say close to .50 of ice,
It looks like we may have a terrible dry slot of air moving in for a good chunk of KY after mid morning from south to north before the back end of the storm…really hoping that this will not greatly lessen totals for snowfall:(
http://www.wsaz.com/weather/misc/Pikeville-Weather-Camera-226295181.html. Pikeville Ky live Feed
Still mostly sleet and freezing rain here in Topmost of Knott County. Temp went up to 27 and switched to manually snow. However,dropped back to 25 and has switched back to sleet.
Nothing here yet in Carter Co. Looks to be on the way in an hour or so. Temp is 22. Thanks Chris for all your info and updates. Get some rest when you can, please. Everyone please be careful out there.
This is better than Christmas morning!!!
NWS….7 min ago…jefferson Co. Northern 3-5 Southern 4-7. Downward trend to 1-3 has started. Still needs to push a little north. Hate seeing the Radar like it is and no flakes falling. Be safe you guys in the icing areas.
None of what you see on radar is falling until you get down around E-Town.
For a downward trend 1-3, is still pretty far from any of their or your projected “totals”.
Wave 3 posted the HRRR model and only 2” for Louisville. That 1-3” call is sounding about right. Who would’ve thought the Wednesday snow may have been the bigger of the two? If this comes to fruition this will be comical.
steady sleet / freezing rain for 2 hours now with occasional short gusts of wind. report from police scanner said 1 power line down across Main Street.
Pouring the snow in Clay County. It is really coming down.
Sleet with snow mixing in in Carrie of knott co temp 27
Already got about a inch here in rockcastle, it is snowing hard here
nws has just raised my totals from 4-8 to 6-9 l live in athens ohio just north of ohio river,to me im not sure if we will see it the radar looks kinda weak
What television station in Louisville has the best weather and does it have a livestream?
Was all heavy snow in Topmost but now has switched back to sleet and snow. I don’t see my part getting the 12-18 forecast which is fine with me.
hope the radar fills in lots of dry spots,hope all u guys and gals get a nice amount
From the ‘Dogs and Cats Living Together dept.’, CB retweeted something from the Louisville NWS that wasn’t to poke fun at them.
If he does the Jackson office next, it is officially the sign of the end for us in Central KY.
Drinking game for today is called Fence Straddlin’.
Whenever BG finds a new reason (e.g., “the discovery of Planet X is going to suck energy from the system!!”) to discuss downgrading this storm without technically changing his snow totals, do a shot!
Be safe out there. PACE YOURSELF when shoveling or you’ll find out just how weak your heart can be. That being said, watch out for your neighbors and do what you can to help them. Our ACTIONS determine who will and won’t make it through this storm okay.
Looking outside, it looks like finally time to blare some ’80s training montage music while getting dressed to get to some shovelin’.
http://youtu.be/E-WHW-QNswE
http://youtu.be/TnqZl_blT7E
Barely spitting snow but getting kinda gusty.
Heavy snow in BG.
When dry slots work into SE KY. forecasts and snow totals usually end way under the snowfall maps totals.
Looks they they are filling in
Solid sheet of ICE on everything here in BG. Going to lose lots of limbs and probably some entire trees. Heavy sleet and snow in South Warren Co. It’s 6:30 AM and it’s supposed to snow like this all day??? Wow.
Like I said this is going to get ugly.
And the wind hasn’t got here (BG) yet.
Ice in Pine Knot ! Tree limbs sagging …… hope it switches to snow doon!
think CB will talk about the dry slots?
WKYT is out in my area. Is there any way of watching online?
Nothing occurring in Pineville. Radar has been showing wintry precip since 11pm, all I see is some rain. I was hoping Chris’ forecast would be off and we would see some beautiful snow! I hate a cold rain and I really hate sleet and freezing rain. If we get any snow it looks to be less than 4 inches. Thankfully we will still have power!
This might be a bust. Stations lowering amounts a bit.
What dry slots..and what busts?
Who’s that driving on the camera near Slade? Lol
Snowing hard in Madison County. Already about an inch…
Heavy sleet in Carrie of knott county. No snow mixing in the sleet now
People already yelling bust…the dang thing just started here…wow
Well they were saying 8-14 and 12-18 for my area now they are saying maybe not even a foot. Dry slots on the radar.
Karma says the girl from SE KY
Snowing heavily, 23 degrees, wind starting to pick-up.
Slight glaze of ice under the fresh 2″ of new snow
Hardest snow I’ve seen in many years in Pikeville. Been snowing since about 5:30. Closing in on 4 inches already.
Dry slotting galore to move in. This storm has high bust potential
I have picked up 3 inches here in Eubank already and it’s still pouring
Well, we decided to cancel travel plans and now here we are in Frankfort with nothing. Nada. Zip. Starting to be concerned that we disappointed our Tampa family for nothing?
according to NWS, Frankfort should see it begin b/tw 9 and noon. they’ve said that since yesterday:
All the people talking “bust” are hilarious.
Are some folks serious here? Dry slots, bust, etc. This is just getting started and pretty much as expected. I will admit I might be rooting for less than expected, but that is the selfishness in me.
How can anyone imply a bust now?
Again, mets right now in my area are lowering amounts now.
Where is your area?
And…wkyt has raised totals for MOST areas in ky. To 12-20″
What about nelson county?
And thats just for eastern KY. More western will lose out.
You can never not consider the pull from the river with these storms…..
http://t.co/p7g2HYJMAN
How does lowering totals a bit equate to a bust? The total ranges for the expected outside edges were already lower ranges.
Might be best to gracefully back off? 😉
Trolls
Agree
OMG…I don’t have a foot a snow in my yard yet!!! Way to blow a forecast Bailey. BUST!!! 😉
Are you serious or sarcastic? As someone stated above I have not seen snow this hard in a loonnnggg time.
Do you not see the smiley face with a wink??
Love it! People are actually griping in LouMetro because we may not get 10 inches now. They only look at the max forecasted number and not the minimum.
Some of you are cracking me up! The storm is just now getting started!..and whinning about 10″ and not getting 18″.. Good grief..you could live here where I’m at watching everyone in ky get snow while I’m in rain zone with maybe 2-3″ on tail end…be thankful for snow period!!..
“I was forecast for 10 to 18 and all I got was 11!”
Exactly there is a lot of snow left in the tank for this one. All one has to do is look at the radar. Some people.
ITS ON NOW!!! HEAVY SNOW!!AREA WIDE!!!
Heavy snow in Pine Knot ! Glad it switched over.
This bubble over Louisville has held for like an hour and a half now! Come on, I wanna see some snow!
Doughnut hole right over us.
Heavy, blowing, snow here in Bowling Green.
Heavy snow in Hyden.
TWC…IS reporting thundersnow developing in ky!…yep sure looks like a bust..!…not!!
I’m not saying it’s a bust. I’m talking about how a giant doughnut hole has taken away the snow we could’ve been getting in Louisville. It’s been this way for hours.
Heavy snow southern laurel county.
Thundersnow right outside somerset
I’m in Eubank haha I thought I heard a clap of Thunder not long after I woke up
Why are my comments in moderation?
No snow yet in Scott County- looks pretty on the radar, but none is coming down..
HEAVIEST SNOW ive seen since 93!!! friends of Chris bailey cly count chapter on facebook to join in as well!!!! redneckbunker handicapping as well.
For areas with ice already, the snow will stick like super glue to everything.
It sure it sticking like super glue! It’s beautiful! !!
would you say it is old school
For some areas it might end up being medieval school.
Why are my comments “awaiting moderation”?
Radar shows snow for my area of knott county but still only sleet falling
Right on cue snow starting to mix in
SEKY will definitely not bust. It will for sure trend further south. The models were saying so.
It is pouring here in rockcastle, it has been for a while, severeal inches have fallen
4 in already in northern Laurel. It wasn’t even suppose to started snowing here yet. I mean the switchover. Heaviest snow I’ve seen since 1996
Considering I was born In 98 this is the heaviest snow I’ve ever seen
no 4″ in london lol.. you kidding right?
No I’m right by wildcat off-road park
Thunder snow in science hill. Northern Pulaski. Unreal.
Would have to think we exceed these totals. I mean it’s suppose do this all day right?
You would think we would. In BG it is already snowing heavy and isn’t going to let up all day.
Pineville and Middlesboro is in the crook of the spin and all Frozen precip is just to our west. I was hoping Bailey’s little cut out on the snowfall map was a glitch, man did he hit it. Will we getting any of the white out snow?
Im a few miles on 229 and we sure havent got no 4″ yet… its not even snowing right now but a few flakes if that… when are they ever right on weather? what a bust lol
Signed, Troll
like
Heavy snow in Floyd Co., IN. Roofs covered, and roads snow covered. I thought this was supposed to start at 10.
Snowing, But not heavy in Burgin
Moderate snowfall here in Lively Shively (West Louisville)
any snow reports near ohio river?
Heavy snow driving from Louisville to S. IN. across Ohio River.
thanks
Wow what a bunch of complaining this morning! I’m enjoying the snow while drinking multiple cups of coffee, thankful I don’t have to go out in this mess. Been snowing like crazy since 7am here in southern Jessamine county. I really do think our area will end up on the higher side of the totals forecasted! Chris, you saw this storm a week ago and gave us all plenty of warning. Thanks for all you do! Definitely on of the best in the business! Get outside and enjoy it!
Cause some folks seem to have poor comprehensive reading skills.
the ole low pressure wrapping up dry slot has aero in on farse ky u folks are the lucky losers this morning.
Heavy snow downtown Louisville
BUT its going wrap back in shortly!!!! all is well
Only some rain and sleet in Middlesboro so far. Definitely gonna end up on the low end of totals thankfully. CB’s forecast will probably be correct. Last nights 12z NAM was laughable at best….12-18″…please! The NAM fails once again!!!
i knew it would be a bust lol… the weather predictions are very accurate anyways…… lucky if ky gets 4 inches all day.. nothing here move on and enjoy the day
I already have 6 and its pouring at my house. no bust here 🙂
You seem delusional 🙂
southern Wayne County, half in of ice. 2 in of fresh snow on the ground. Near white out. Biggest flakes I have ever seen.
Over 2″ of new snow in Madison Co…. Coming down hard too!!!
Thunder here just rumbled the house
Looks like this storm has a bit of wrap around to it. Is anyone else seeing this?
lots of dude call bust
Can’t wait until the changeover comes in Harlan. 🙂
Thanks Chris. Try to rest and everybody else please stay safe and warm.
Pouring snow and strong, gusty winds in Hartford/ Beaver Dam area!
Memphis radar:
http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=nqa
yes Lucy, storm really wrapping up, several counties getting in dry slot, but will work back in by noon
Thanks. Looks like a bit of spinning around on itself in places rather than just jutting by–if that makes sense.
5 inches in Clay county and still coming diwn.
Wunderground really backed off their total for lexington, shows 5-8 now.
That’s insane for them to do. I’m in Hamburg (East Lexington) and measured 4.5 inches and it is snowing heavily right now.
london ky as of 9:16am absolutely no snow falling lol
It hasn’t stopped snowing in downtown London. I’m off 5th street.
It’s Back…no worries…radar returns out of middle TN looking for Laurel County.
i don’t know where you live, but its been snowing at my house all morning.
hmmm. light snow here in Frankfort. hoping for a ramp up soon cause everyone else is currently boarding our flight and waiting for takeoff.
anyone in lexington? what’s it doing there??
Pouring here in Lexington on Fontaine Rd. Have got close to 2 inches in the last hour
Still see clear roads here. And I am out in the country! Hope our river isn’t eating our snow chances 🙁
It wasn’t supposed to start snowing in Frankfort until mid to late morning so everything is on track.
Just started snowing here in Valley Station about 10 minutes ago. I’m boycotting all doughnuts…at least for today. I think my house was where the doughnut hole of dry air finally collapsed.
I think Louisville could’ve made it to 7-9″,but that doughnut was chomping away at our snow.
9:13….First flakes at my house in the Schnitzelburg part of the Ville. Got out at 4:30 and spread 300 lbs of salt and now ready to start plowing. Be safe all my KWC Blog friends. Let the fun and games begin. Still holding out on my 1-3 even though all the outlets here including the NWS calling for 4-8. Going to be a long day no doubt.
Measured just over 3 new inches in London at 9am. We had a lot of sleet banging on the windows for several hours last night and so glad it changed over quick. It will be neat to see how much we actually get total out of this.
London is looking pretty good. I live in Laurel myself, staying in lex this weekend for work. Going to miss out on an epic storm
Just saw the first flakes falling in Putnam Co. WV at 9:00 am
6 inches of new snow in Pikeville now. Still coming down hard.
Very heavy band setting up below Wayne County. Going to blow snow totals away.
4 1/2″ so far here in Warren co.
Yep! Thats what I just measured in my backyard as well. This snow is amazing. Biggest flakes Ive ever seen.
I know! Its going to be like this all day!
Down the road in Nashville, very heavy snow at the moment. One bit of good news is that Nashville changed quickly from rain to snow so no real icing issues that places like Clarksville TN and Bowling Green KY experienced.
Some isolated lightning strikes (thundersnow) now popping up, including north of Nashville and roughly near Corbin KY!
I’m on the Eastern edge of Louisville, near Shelby County line. Snow has been coming down steady for about the last 15 minutes or so. Winds beginning to crank up as well.
Eastern Kentucky is getting slammed. It’s pouring and the flakes are huge.
Enjoy this, Kentucky! Will be one to remember! A snow like this “makes” the winter for us. Rodger in Dodger!
intellicast had us at 5-8 and now down to 3-5 in athens ohio
9:40am, still snowing like crazy in Nicholasville (just south of LEX). 23.3 degrees right now
9:45 AM seeing very small flakes in Flatwoods, KY. 76% humidity and rising, 24 degrees and steady.
Just starting with very light snow on edge of Fleming and Rowan county ….winds as r picking up a little…doesn’t appear we are going to get the high ends which is fine with me! Lol
5 in monticello
Snowing hard in Pine Knot! Biggest flakes I have ever seen ! We were on the low end for totals in the last storm too. If it is going to do this all day, we are trouble ! It is beautiful though !!! Has anyone updated totals for Southern , KY?
Current lift of the now extending farther north into Indiana counties than anticipated.
Where did you see this? Thanks. What a fun day.
Just watching the radar. 🙂
This!
Snow
Started in St Mathews about 20 minutes ago. Little bitty flakes, but already coating the road and cars.
Give it another 20′ and it will be much heavier. I work in old Louisville and it started like that around 8:50a. Since 9:20a it has been heavy.
Right on schedule. Flakes bigger and went from light to moderate. I opened my front storm door to take a picture and the wind blew that open.
I heard St. Mathews is getting snow. Nice day for all teachers to be off from school with children.
Mid morning update. Very fine flakes falling in Carrie of knott co light to moderate. A shade under 2 inches of fresh snow/sleet
Heaviest snow further south than most forecasted. Just like the euro showed consistently
We are getting hammered in McCreary !
Snowing hard in greenup
Temperature still climbing in Middlesboro. Now 36 degrees with no precipitation in the last 2 hours
not looking too promising but plenty of time left. was snowing lightly but back to flurries. national weather service says 5 to 9 for our area.
Rodger correctly predicted last evening that snow would reach all the way to Indianapolis today! Congrats to all of KY for a big snow and here is current radar image: http://i.imgur.com/jZgdDD7.png
Still no snow falling in CVG despite radar returns. Hopefully, the dry air will get saturated soon.
And no big snow … yet
Bout 6 new inches in Floyd. Could have more but keeps going from sleet to heavy snow and then sleet n snow mixed. Looking very dry as opposed to wet snow which should be great news to those worried bout power outages! Have fun all n b safe!!
Is it possible SE counties get as much snow as anybody.
Just measured 5″-5 1/4″ here in Warren co.
My in-laws in Bwg report likewise, on top of the darned ice.
Picking up my wife at her work. Weird, most of it seems to be melting on contact. Oh wait, I have the defrost on.
10:08 AM heavy snow now falling in Flatwoods, KY. 85% humidity and rising and 23 degrees and falling. So far about 1/2″ of snow on roofs and starting to accumulate on treated roads even.
North Perry Co. Here.. So far the colder temps saving us. Mid 20s. It’s not a real heavy wet snow so far. Not sticking much to the trees/lines etc.
Six inches and snowing hard in Webster County. 🙂
Husband Just came in and said we have about 4 inches here in Burgin.
What is (not) happening in Frankfort????? Are we gonna miss out?
We may beat last years big snow
Looks like a bust for letcher county
Jkl saying heaviest band now in there southwestern counties. They updated my snow 9-13 inches today. 7-11 tonight. Wow
Just over 3 inches of wind blown snow in Nashville so far; snowfall rate varying between light and rather heavy.
Moderate snow for the past hour in Georgetown. Heavier stuff should be rotating up a little later. It is going to be a good day!!
snowing heavy now in London,ky
It COULD work out that a lot of areas on the west half of the state get the lower to mid totals of CB’s map and the further you go east area gets the higher end and beyond.
This might bust the dome in Knox. Already had two or more inches left over from Wednesday. Radar looks promising.
I think eastern Kentucky is going to get thumped.
We are on the TN border . If it keeps this up, we may end up with a foot or more ! We have already had power outages due to Ice this morning . Trees are sagging . Minus these downsides, it sure it beautiful !
Been snowing for about an hour in Carter & is coming down pretty good with roads covered and very slick. Snow is sticking to everything…not like Wed. snow which mainly stuck to the roads. Windy and temps around 21.
video update from the redneck bunker t our Fans ChrisBaliey page.. I can see 2 feet in several areas. got 6 inches here in Annville already 1.5 inches in last 45 min
5 & half inches in paintsville & pouring the snow temp is 22
Radar has us covered up here in northern KY but not a thing falling from the sky. The good thing is that we were never forecasted to get that much so it’s not really a disappointment anyways. Did waste a snow day though, I think but I guess better safe than sorry.
Snowing and roads starting to get covered in Falmouth,Ky.
Give it time. It was EXACTLY like that in Louisville from around 7:45am until 9:00am and then the other shoe dropped; heavy snow since. 🙂
Is it to early for me to call bust in Athens Ohio
How long will it snow in Louisville? I was thinking it was suppose to last unitl 7pm but appears from radar it could be out of here well before that. Thoughts?
Many hours of snowfall left. Intensity unsure but many hours, yes.
It will snow well into the evening. We will have impulses of heavy to moderate to light fluctuations. I’m looking for a four inch average in Jeff. Co. Some more, some less. Blowing snow will make true totals difficult to measure.
We’ve seen mostly flurries in Shelbyville with no accumulation so far.
Dry slot killing in extreme SE ky. You guys think backside shield will cover SE ky?
Bell county has had mostly flurries with a few bursts of light snow.
Hey little SHAAK LMAO…..we are getting buried in snow here in SE KY. I guess Nelson County is 50 degrees and rainy
About 2″ of slush and ice in harlan very little snow.
Measured 6″ in Warren co. Coming down heavy!
I just went out and measured 7″ pretty consistently. The snow drifts are starting to become huge too. I will be interested to hear where Chris says the deformation zone is setting up. I wonder if it was a little more south than previously thought. Keep the comments and updates coming folks!
Well its pouring here in NE ky too
True! On Chris’s last map. It was a pretty huge zone across the state. Looks like he nailed it.
Glad most are getting the snow they want! Just hope everyone keeps power.
The 5-12” zone is going to need a lot of help to make it there. About 1/2 inch in Louisville.
Just measured 1.3″ here in Valley Station but well behind the 3″ expected by noon here.
NEKY has a 10-15 mph NE wind blowing snow around. Could the wind kill snow totals or will it enhance totals?
I’m guessing somewhere around 4-5″ here in Madisin Co…
Snow finally started falling at Cincinnati/NKY airport.
I commented earlier about a promising radar here in Knox but we are in a dry slot now. Radar returns now showing rain coming up into far SEKY . maybe the dome will live.
Corbin is getting very heavy snow, ontop of about .30 of ice
Went into the office in Lex this AM. Not bad going in.
Just made it home through a beautiful moderate to heavy snow.
Main roads slushy with slick spots. Side roads snow covered and slick.
Be safe and enjoy this snow!
Middlesboro….rain and 36 degrees.
Coming down steady in warren co. I just measured 7″.
8 inches of snow in Clay county as of now and still pouring the snow!!!!
how about that northern trend shakks
coming down nicely in Frankfort now but doesn’t seem to be accumulating.
Very fine flakes here in Carrie of knott county still. Going back and forth between flurries and light snow. Radar don’t look real impressive for far south east ky
7 1/2″ in Warren co.
Snow picking up a bit again in Nashville after a bit of a lull.
Nashville may have had little or no freezing rain, but seems the water from earlier heavy rains is freezing on the roads. Traffic is at a crawl if not stopped altogether. Even some 4wd vehicles are getting stuck.
In my area of Jenkins in Letcher Co. ….. This morning at 4, we had freezing rain and sleet. That changed over to snow keeping some sleet combined.The temperature is staying 32-33. But that quit and for 2-3 hrs now it’s done nothing. According to the radar it looks like that’s all we’re going to get. I guess we see if anything else falls. I have a sad face. If you got snow, be safe and stay warm !
From KJKL:
THE BIGGEST UPDATE MADE TO THE GRIDS WAS TO INCREASE THE TOTAL
SNOW IN THE SOUTHWEST COUNTIES…INCLUDING WAYNE AND PULASKI
COUNTIES. MANY OF THE MODELS ARE INDICATING A BULLSEYE OF SNOW
NEAR THIS AREA AND BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO THE CONVECTION THAT IS
MOVING NORTHWARD FROM TENNESSEE
Hah! Based on CB’s new tweet about the NAM, the former center of Darth Bubba’s Death(Snow) Dome is circled for up to two feet of snow.
Irony.
With NE wind, my satellite will likely not be impacted after all. I guess your place will be okay too, even with more snow than me…of course, most people always have more snow than me.
More irony being I prefer the low end of the maps for practical reasons,
We may not get to three inches in Cloverleaf. Be lucky for four according to radar returns and motion of the storm. The snow is very fine and blowing too much. Main roads are clear.
Bummer
Madison county is circled in light blue as 24″ around the dark blue 20″ zones.
That’s what I’m talking about! I think the bulls eye is over “my part of Richmond”. I know – “be careful what you wish for…”
Where did you see this map help please. Thanks
I’m not seeing that tweet
You missed it then. CB tweeted the map two hours ago as of 1:16 PM
Yup…saw the same thing. Not sure I’ve ever seen such forecast amounts in my lifetime. Pretty amazing.
Nothing in letcher county
The dome is busted in Knox. It’s about time.
How many inches do you think we have in Knox?
Not many on my side
I am waiting to measure until the end of the storm. I live in town. Where does BObt live?
We have around 3 at Mackey Bend Temps for the past couple hrs have been above freezing 36 now
wow ive got snow in Athens
Anyone on here from Mercer County?
biggest flakes i seen in a long time falling now in knott;co
got 5 inches in Pikeville so far. 11:48am.
was snowing very hard all morning. started here around 5am, but we are in a lull at the moment. radar shows more to come… be safe everyone!
So looking at the radar, the deeper blues, heavier snow, seems to be rotating back to the west? The storm as a whole is supposed to be moving east, but the bands of snow in the storm are rotating west, or northwest, correct? I’m in Meade county (next county west of Jefferson) and I have been reading this blog over the past three years, first comment though. Just hoping we get in on some decent snowfall!
Very light snow in Topmost of Knott County. We may have 3 inches thus far.
the radar dont look to good but will it fill back in?
A little over 8″ in Warren co. Still coming down hard.
7 inches at hagerhill near paintsville
WDRB lowering totals for nelson county again. Was 12 plus to 8-12 now 7-10. Great.
Bell county is a total bust at this point. flurries and light snow is it for us.
Yep! 10 times as much snow has melted today from the Wednesday snowfall, than has fallen today so I guess you can say we are at a “negative” inch or 2. Major bust
Clay Co. TN,
snowing to beat the band, could end up with a foot since we are close to 6″ already. Power went out overnight due to ice, bummer. Howerver, they climbed the pole and got it back on about 9am, Hurray! A couple of those inches of snow is left over from last snow. This is on the TN/KY state line SE of BG.
Snowing in Georgetown. Couple of inches so far. Wind is really whipping around.
Very heavy snow now in Moorhead.
It looks like the dry slot is about to shut the snow off in the Kanawha Valley WV very shortly.
What do you veterans think of the dry area entering pike county and raising north? Think it will affect the 18″ still being forecast in martin county?
4″ 8″ 12″ 20″ who cares….what I got goin on right now is pure beauty!
Wind is whisking through my pine trees, snow is blowing…..channeling Bob Ross….
I’m in Frankfort, it’s snowing!
Brian Goode said relax people, this storm.is FAR from over..so many people look at the negatives and scream bust
We are not getting the totals forecast for south of Louisville. Thats a fact.
No, it isn’t a fact since it is going to snow for another 6 or 7 hours. If the storm was over it would be a fact, right it is just your opinion and a very poor one at that.
My statement is becoming true. Good try, though.
The dry slot is making me a bit nervous. Near Huntington WV, hoping for a few more hours of good snow.
I see it too and am wondering if radar will start to fill back in? The afternoon was when the worst of it was forecast to hit (I thought). With how consistently all the models showed us getting a ton of snow in our area, I would be surprised if it slowed down for long at all. Plus, like everyone else said, this thing is still a LONG way away from being over.
I noticed that dry slot as well about an hour ago. Maybe like the eye of a hurricane. I hope it is just a lull and fills back in. I am trying to avoid the locals on tv. We have a couple real buzz killers here. I just follow Chris
Looks like it’s already starting to fill back in on the radar, Jimbo! 🙂
I agree Sarah H. The dry slot never made it to Putnam County where I am. It appears that local weatherman on TV last night who insisted on rain/sleet was gonna cut our totals way down was wrong. He said we might have an inch by dark. Boy does he have egg (snow) on his face.
Hit round one of shoveling drive and walks. 4-5 inches , some drifting beginning. Downtown Lexington.
Northern Suburb of Cincinnati, Just saw our first flake! Probably the last but it made it here…
Moving in on 10 inches here in rockcastle,
We have about 12inches already in and around the Somerset area!! And a long ways to go. Could we see 2 feet?
This song is SO TRUE!

Question for the weather geeks.
Is this system really slow moving or is it just a long train of moisture?
Thanks!
I think the answer is both. The L was on the central MS/AL state line at midnight and now it is on the AL/GA state line half a day later. The pressure is continuing to drop and the isobars on the western edge of the low’s circulation haven’t really advanced eastward at all over the last few hours. The system continues to expand in size from what I can tell.
Thanks BFRG. Always learning here!
Or trying to anyway.
Warm air or something has moved in here in Pikeville Chris will we get back in on the action???
Heavy snow in Georgetown. Had to measure with all the wind but I’d guess 3 to 4 inches. Snow drifts already starting to form.
After snowing all morning it stopped here in Corbin for like 2 minutes and then starting snowing heavenly again..and from the looks of things it might be 9-10 pm before it slacks off.
*heavily
No snow in Carrie of knott county for around the last 45 mins. Got around 3 inches thus far
The intensity of snow and wind is picking up in Lex. It’s absolutely a white winter wonderland outside. Visibility very low atm.
Good description! People are posting pic tweets of white outs and you can see houses and stuff about least 100 yards away.
A white out is basically a picture of white and perhaps some blurry silhouettes in the foreground.
About 5 inches here in greenup.and snowing harder than. I’ve seen it in a long time
The whole state has it coming down and Pikeville is under a dry slot go figure maybe the snow will start back I hope
About 5 inches in Nashville TN. But radar showing clearing about three counties to the west. Can we make 7 inches?!
My wife loves this snow, but this warm weather dude is ready for spring 😉 .
HRRR model shows Louisville getting 3-6″ now. Waiting for some overachieving bands please.
Unless you live in Valley Station maybe 1-3 lol
Cloverleaf has maybe 2 inches. Better snow on Wednesday.
Madison county is in part of the max snow zone area for the state, but so far (thankfully IMO) it seems we have not got slammed yet like some areas appear to have. At least Richmond has not. I am not seeing how anyone can peg a snow total with drifting, so guessing five inches so far. Perhaps we will be on the lower end 🙂
Bubba, in my part of Madison Co I would say that we have 7 inches or better…
clearing in london ky.. its over now…. clearing out now
It is pouring the snow in town.
Snow does not like trolls 🙂
Not in Frankfort, it’s just getting started….man i wish you were here!!!
Local mets in Charleston said the dry slot will miss I64 heavier totals will be seen. Wow!
12 inches in Annville ky
9″ in Bowling Green still coming down.
Rodger is getting wrap-around have snow north of Ohio River near western KY now. Predictions were for 1-3″ here but up to 5″ and still accumulating. Rodger in Dodger!
Will this gradually move eastward?
Will that dry sloat around pike county fill in?
What a BUST of a storm for the Louisville area. Congrats Eastern Kentucky. Somehow your area has become a snow magnet. smh
12 inches in Middlesboro, I mean the subway has 12″ sandwiches , other than that not much to see here
hahaha. Good one! NWS has already downgraded us to 1-2″
We’re really struggling in Shelbyville. We’ve seen a couple of hours of decent snow rates but the flakes have been microscopic. We may have 1/2″.
SEKY is not the winner on this storm and I am thankful already had 2 power glitches today and only have maybe 1 1/2 inch of snow. I believe the bullseye was Somerset
Unless this snow here in Louisville picks up we aren’t getting 3-6 or 4-8. Snow globe. Light snow at the best.
Meh.
It appears Southern Indiana is going to get more snow than Jefferson/Oldham/Shelby.
South of the ville not getting what was forecasted either.
Yeah I agree 4-8 inches I dont see happening.Good for SE Ky they always get shafted glad to see them get buried in the snow.
Some not a all. Middleboro got left out and I had more snow Wednesday so far
It has let up since this morning, but I’m happy with the last two systems. We didn’t get much melting yesterday and this is just add on.
Most of SE Ky may get buried, however, it is extremely unlikely Middlesboro/Bell county will reach the 3″ mark. We’ve seen more snow melt today (from Wed.) than has fallen and that’s fine with me.
Approaching a foot in eAst bernstadt. No end in sight neither
http://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10153187729271574&id=669076573
In Crab Orchard right now.
It appears the bands near Louisville are beginning to pick up and are now showing signs of deforming…this may be the last gasps from this storm system…hoping for our accumulation to start increasing from here.
It has picked up and the snow flakes are bigger.
Not even an inch in southeast Jefferson County of Louisville. This is beyond laughable. I started the day with hopes of 8 inches. Now, I am hoping to make it to 2 inches by tonight. New Albany, IN is up to at least 4 inches.
Let’s put our hopes into backside overachieving snow bands.
This was a dysfunctional system from the start.
Impossible to get a good grip on snow totals.
It was like a summer thunderstorm.
If your were under the clouds you get a soaking but a few miles down the road just a few sprinkles.
Congratulations to all the people in the Commonwealth that received their snow.
Here in Louisville we play for another day.
Around 7 inches here in greenup And still pouring
We have made it to 1″ in Shelbyville. Maybe we will reach 2″ by the time it’s over!
Looking at long range through tomorrow do you really think this will last through at least 2pm like they are saying weather channel?
I m from far part of Westen ky in Union, co.. We already exceeded our amout of 3 inches . we got about 4-5 maybe more and still snowing hard. That three inches was predicted.
9 1/2″ in BG.
Maybe wrap around flurries Willie.
Unless I missed something, this system is not done with snow until tomorrow morning and then mid day for the rest of the state. Not seeing how people can in general say bust, etc.
Some of you folks make Darth Bubba seem like a motivational speaker. Jeepers. 😉
Amen!
Like!
I agree there is still a lot of precipitation left. I just don’t get people these days.
About 6 inches on the Northeast side of Pikeville in the Belfry area. It is starting to snow again after stopping for 2 or 3 hours. Looking at the radar it looks like it is about to really fill in again but I’m afraid that few hours we had earlier of a dry radar will hurt us on our overall totals. Here’s to hoping we can still get close to that 12-18 inch preduction 🙂
Occasional flurries in extreme NKY – accompanied by extremely frustrated children with extremely underused sleds.
Correct me if I’m wrong but Louisville and Ohio river counties were never in the sweet spot for the system were they? Why so much negativity?
No, but we only needed a couple more inches on top of what we already have to get some sledding in. I was hoping for at least that.
That is true. Totals have still been much lower than expected in some areas though. Strangely enough Southern Indiana and northern parts of Jefferson County will end up with more snow than southern Jefferson, Bullitt, and Shelby.
Looking forward to the 4 p.m. telecast online for WKYT.
Snow globe snow right now, but the winds have been strong as Chris predicted. I don’t have a measurement of how much we received – pretty sure someone has a number.
Thunder and lighting with snowflakes the size of my fist in Letcher County.
We had thunder and lightning in the big snow of 94 in Louisville. Mets only called for a few inches but when the lightning started I knew we hit the jackpot.
We got a Bubba buster here in clay county, that’s for sure. Still coming down , Not as heavy as earlier , but still snowing. Guestamating 11 inches. Was 9 inches couple hours ago. I’ll go measure in few.
Richmond has gotten smacked in the past few hours. I keep going out to knock the snow off our Direct TV dish that is 1.5 stories in the air.
We are nearing a foot of snow so far. Even our driveway areas out of the drift areas needs re-shoveling. This event might top last years for this area.
It has been snowing in Clay county since 6 this morning and hasn’t let up. Last measurement of snow was 10 inches. Getting ready to take kids out to play in snow. I will measure before coming back inside and give an update on our snow totals. This has been a beautiful snow. The flakes have been as big as quarters and bigger.
thunder in corbin as snowflakes well over the size of a quarter falls
is it me or is the snow not really moving on the radar
Just went out and measured, got 10″-12″ in different spots around the house here in BG. Wind is howling and blowing snow around pretty good!
Tapered off for a little while here at the eastern edge of Jefferson county. Has picked up again. Beautiful to watch coming down.
I will measure in a bit but i do think we have beat last years total with more hours to go well over a foot here
Tom, 2 feet might be excessive, but I think your area has a real shot at approaching 18-20″
One thing for sure, the radar really seems to be blossoming. That deformation zone is pretty broad and healthy. Still plenty of banding in southern and eastern KY.
The southern tier counties is Adair, Russell, Pulaski and Laurel will have some of the heaviest amounts. Not to mention the areas between the Hal Rogers and Mountain parkway
Just measured 10″ here in Warren co.
Greenup is getting hammered…around 10 inched Herr so far with even higher drifts
Clay Co. TN,
Update… hard to measure with the blowing piles, but 8.5 inches seems a fair ballpark with my ruler in the un-piled areas. Still moderate snow, one of the prettiest I can ever remember. And this on top of about .25in freezing rain. My power is back on so all is good. SE of BG on TN/KY state line
Just saw where the KY governor issued a state of emergence and stated “The Commonwealth has come through the worst part of the snowfall event. The storm front should move out of the area by 7 pm”
I thought this event was scheduled to last all night with the heaviest snow to fall in the evening hours?
Off by about twelve hours, unless talking about the heavy bands only.
About 17 hours for most
I am as dumb as can be on all the snow that is out in western and south central Kentucky. now will it move across the state before exiting or just keep going on up north out of the state?
Depends on the wraparound snows. CB will update.
The Gov has been given bad info.
Not that bad apparently. Doesn’t even show up on the radar on this site anymore.
New governor is a joke! More proof of that!
BTW, what’s up with the radar? The snow seems to be stuck in place. I like a big snow and all but this one has lost it’s forward mojo.
This storm has kicked Eastern Kentucky’s butt. 14 inches and pouring like crazy.
12 inches in Clay county and still pouring the snow.
it never started in Bell county. Lol
extreme east ky (martin co) 8-9″ depending on where I measure in the yard.
so yeah this thing is barely moving, wow
Don’t look like it will break last yeas record in my neighborhood which was 15″
Around 10 inches here in the middle of Whitley County and still snowing pretty good. Lots of trees down and lots of power outages.
10 1/2″ in Warren co.
Seems to have slowed down to a lighter snow in BG, but I think the wind has picked up a little.
Northeast Lexington/Hamburg area – measured 8 inches and still coming down. Leaf blower works wonders to clear a place for our pets if you blow the path off every 45 minutes. 🙂
13 inches when I measures about an hour ago here at my place in Morgan County. Still coming down pretty good. And the radar indicates might just snow into tomorrow as forecasts have said. Going to be a while before we can dig out from this.
About 12 inches in West Irvine. No wind like expected.
In northwest Lexington, it is just beautiful and snowing moderately…some drifting….this is and continues to be a good ole’ snow storm for my area…..I am thinking to storm total for KLEX will be 10 to 12 inches? I dunno how much more snow will fall in my area with this system…I’m so glad you folks in eastern KY that missed some of the last 2 big snows are getting hammered (at least for snow lovers), there’s probably a lot of you who are hating it though.
I am in WV between Hunt/Chas we have received about 11 inches since 10am. We are going to exceed both of the storms from 2015. Haven’t seen snow like this since Blizzard of 96.
10 inchrs in Pine Knot. TN border. Still snowing hard!
*inches
We have over a foot in Richmond and snowing heavy with wind. Once again the Voice of Reason low balled numbers and is wrong. His maximum is becoming a lot of areas minimum.
Lame.
Yeah – we scored in my part of Richmond as well!
is it starting starting to give in on radar and run out of juice i can’t really tell?
This doesn’t seem like much compared to what we got in March of last year. About half at my house in NW Lexington. Maybe there’s another 6-8″ to come?
From what I understand, we have at least 12 hours to go before it ends. I don’t know whether it will reach the March 2015 totals for Lexington or not, but remember, that one didn’t come all in one day either.
The artificial midnight barrier is interesting for the record books but are basically luck as to which part of the day the storm arrives in, but storm totals are more interesting for people. The one in march was all one storm so that’s my comparison.
Has been a bust in Harlan at only 4 inches so far, but some wrap around looks to help add to the totals tonight. Still disappointed though:(
Don’t feel bad Terry. Epic bust in Middlesboro/Bell co. Has rained all day with temps never getting near freezing. A couple of snow showers which have all melted as well as more than half of what we had left from Wednesday. Yet another reason to NEVER trust the NAM which had both of us under 12-18″ on last nights 12z run.
Radar is trying to fill back in again but the bands are appearing to lose a little steam in middle TN, so I am not for sure how we will do tonight. Oh well, we still have plenty of winter left with another potential storm mid week next week, so cheers to some winter weather, even if we get the least in the state!
Disappointment perhaps, but hardly a bust. It is almost on the low end of the forecast for that area (5″), and it isn’t over yet.
Looks like another dry spell moving into east ky (pike CO and raising north) and this one looks like its gonna last a few hours… And chance Pike Co is done?
I know we are cursed in this area for snow compared to the rest of the state it didn’t snow for 2 or 3 hours today it’s trying to start back but I just don’t see it with that big dry slot you can look at the radar and see it we will not get 2 ft I doubt one foot.
15 inches in parts of rockcastle
12 inches here in east Lincoln county.
Very surprised at snow in Floyd, IN. Got about 6 inches and still snowing.
You are under a training band.
I am have been noticing the heavy band north of the River.
We are also in Floyd County, IN and have about 6″. It’s weird when I just watched the news and Louisville is reporting less than 2″ in many spots.
5.5 inches of snow at 5pm Carrie of knott co
When can we look for the next snow storm ? This one was obviously a bust for us here in Walton,Ky.
Local mets say 11″ so far in Charleston. They say we have a chance of eclipsing the all time one day total of 17″ in 93. Wow!!
Just at 11″ in BG. The snow is slowing down.
yeah from the looks of the radar Pike CO is finished and the dry area is moving into all the counties north of pike. Maybe Chris is predicting some wrap around showers over night?
Im in martin co right above pike and have 10 in my yard, We were in the heart of the predicted 12-20 on his new map.
Clay county TN,
This one is going to beat last year on the TN/KY state line. I just went out with my trusty ruler and did the slipp and slide to find that we now have 11″ . With more to come we will probably beat last year’s monster snow! This one is most beautiful but it blows everywhere with drifts up to a couple of feet.
17 inches in Breathitt County and more is expected tonight into tomorrow. Everyone stay safe!
I just measured 2.25″ here in Shelbyville. It is still snowing lightly. I hope we can get at least one decent band to move through before it ends!
Rodger says the “dome” is busted for several years! Hard to complain about a lack of snow and say “we always miss the big ones!” in the past 11 months! And winter might not be over. We have another two months of possibilities. Rodger in Dodger!
400
401
5 inches in Georgetown – a fine snow is still falling.
OK, I just looked at the 430 (ish) climate update for KLEX….as of 4:30, they have 5 something inches and get this, they had the snow depth as 1 inch…….
OK????????????
Probably just a reporting error that’ll be fixed. Looks to be around 8-9″ here. A nice storm, but pretty weak compared to last March for our area.
How many inches of snow in hart county anyone
Last check at 5pm… 12″ in Danville!!
13.5″ in Putnam county WV. Still snowing at a rate of 1-2″ per hour.
About 11 inches in Chesapeake, OH.
Bust for letcher county might have gotten 1 1/2 inches
its really starting to break up on radar she’s running out of juice
We have over a foot in Huntington wv!
As a heavy band pushes through, I have 3.3″ in Valley Station. Mets say about 0.5 – 0.7″ possible. That will put me at about 4″
I have 6 to 8 inches in my backyard in hikes point. Of course my backyard is a drift magnet.
15 inches of snow here at hagerhill, ky close to Denver
Thank goodness this was primarily a dry snow across the area. Had it been wet we’d be looking at tens of thousands without power. Some would be without it for weeks.
over 3,000 without power in Whitley county alone, and the news doesn’t even cover it…
Is that near Corbin, or is that Knox county? I get the counties confused…and do you have snow on top of ice?
almost 4,000 in Whitley and 1,000 in knox http://ebill.cumberlandvalley.coop/woViewer/mapviewer.html?config=Outage+Web+Map
and yes I do have snow on ice, my power just flicked for the first time..If i lose power so does the main grid of corbin
9 inches in Pikeville. We had 7 inches by 10 am….and its basically just flurried or stopped snowing all together since.
400+ comments! Congrats Bailey. Hoping to squeeze out a few more inches by dawn in Harlan county. Got about four inches now. Can’t wait to take the kids out in the morning.
Measured several places in my yard in northern Jessamine and had between 9″ and 10.5″. Love looking at the snow but had to have a vet come out here (thank goodness for 4-wheel drive) to look at a sick horse. No fun trudging back and forth through the snow to make numerous trips to the barn. Wonder how much a vet adds on to the bill for coming out in weather like this?
looks like its picking back up a little in Pikeville. snowing harder now than it was half hour ago & the winds are starting to pick up as well. right now I got 7 inches in my yard, hoping for more 🙂
Jackson just posted an interesting map showing totals thru 6pm. Some of these cut offs are crazy. We have close to a foot near the Breathitt-Perry line, south end of the county they have couple inches?.
Got a link to the map?
6.5 my part of Lewis co.
Major bust in Frankfort, 2in. So far in Frankfort.
10 to 14in. Predicted
Congrats to the double digit areas
I had heard that parts of the county had up to 9 inches…western parts I think. Is that true?
Maybe a dusting in the Cincinnati area, totally bummed!
15 inches and counting!
Around 7 or 8 inches here. Picked up most of that during the intense snowband that came through here around late afternoon. Still snowing light to moderate at times.
Man that ended fast. It’s all but dried up on the StormChaserMap.
Close to be 18 inches here in rural greenup county
We ended up with 2.5″ in Shelbyville. We just never got a decent band to move through.
Finally up to about 8 inches in Harlan. It really looks like the wrap around is trying to fall apart though. I wonder if we will have any real accumulations beyond midnight if the coastal low sends any precip back westward?
Harlan is also under a winter storm warning till 7pm so expect more
The basic final total for my area of Warren County is 11 1/2″.
Scratch that I actually have 12″.
We’ve had anywhere from 15-18 inches in Somerset depending on where your at!
Glad to see you get that. Somerset is historically one of those areas that misses out on a lot of snows. Too far south in Kentucky and too far west to get much from upslope systems. Happy for you. I don’t know how much we got here in Knox. Counting the Wednesday storm and today its going to be a decent total. No 15 inches though.
6″ in Carrie of knott county at 9pm
County wide power outage in McCreary for about an hour ! It has been restored!
I am in london,ky and it came across the TV we are still under a winter storm warning till 7pm saturday… i thought it was over, what gives?
Trailing edge of the system rotating on top of you. 7pm tomorrow seems a bit late though.
Just a stab, but perhaps a partial reason for the late expiration is that even though snowfall may end much earlier, any strong winds could still blow around snow on the ground.
Whole lot of nothing in Covington.
still snowing here in athens ohio almost like its spinning or rotating back
The cut-off with this storm was pretty crazy. Here in South Lexington we ended up with around 10 inches and I am hearing only 2 to 3 inches fell in Frankfort—wow… Such a short distance.
Ended up with 12″ in Southern Warren Co! I’d call that a good snow!
I live in the Garden Side area of Lexington and am also measuring over 10″ of snow.
Seeing some “backing in” of the snow shield from the northeast…would not be surprised if most of East KY gets another half foot in places tonight. Going on 9 inches here in Harlan!
Seeing some “backing in” of the snow shield from the northeast…would not be surprised if most of East KY gets another half foot in places tonight. Going on 9 inches here in Harlan!
So we have exceeded 500 posts, what is the record over the past 4 and half years since this blog launched for one title?
Sorry for the same paragraph repeat, I thought my first post did not take!!!
500+ !!!!! Way to go Bailey. Wrap around snows ramping up in E KY. Pouring here in Harlan county
http://s13.postimg.org/9dxp6tl9z/Jan23_115am_Radar.gif
Still looks good on radar
