Good evening and welcome to the weekend. Snow showers and flurries continue to fly across much of central and eastern Kentucky. This action can still put down some light accumulation in a few areas… especially in the east.
Winds are gusty and arctic cold temps continue. Combine the two and you get feel like temps in the single digits for those out and about this evening. It’s a hot chocolate and fireplace kinda night. 🙂
The clipper moving into the state this weekend won’t have a ton of juice with it. This system looks to drop in late Saturday into Saturday night with a swath of light snow and flurries. The latest models continue to point toward central and eastern Kentucky getting in on the majority of the action. I suspect we won’t be able to pinpoint exactly where this snow streak winds up until we can track it on radar tomorrow.
Temps begin to moderate early next week ahead of a plains storm. This heads into the lakes by Tuesday and pulls another arctic front through here. Rain will be possible late Monday though Tuesday with a switch to snow showers by Tuesday evening into Wednesday as temps come way down. This is a decent shot of cold showing up on the models and the European Model is picking up on this…
Check out the AMAZING amount of cold filling up Canada and pushing into the northern tier of America. That is going to be a force to be reckoned with before this winter is over. That air is so extreme that it will throw the models for a big loop!
Have a great evening and take care.
How far west will the moisture be tomorrow night? What is the definition of Central Kentucky?
Just watch the radar tomorrow afternoon or evening. I would not worry about this system, clippers are single engine lows.
Right. Just have some friends traveling, and was wondering if it would impact the area.
Thank you for the update, appreciate the time you take to keep us informed, CB. It’s snowing lightly here at East Point and looks beautiful, but very cold!
i like the snow as good as anyone, but in a way im ready for it to warm up. i guess spending a month in houston has done something to me. usually 25-30 degree weather doesnt bother me, but ive frooze since i got back in ky last night.
where u at rolo ol buddy ? not seen you post in a few days
Channeling all the from the little old lady in the Burger King commercials from the 1980s: Where’s the beef (snow)?
If the choice is these little sole skimmers (ankle biters are a lofty aspiration), I will take sunny skies or rain 🙂 Wild on the trajectory of downward trend for the blog:
Five to eight years ago, we talked big snow and we laughed at the ankle biters 😉
Three to four years ago, we adapted to the wimpy results (save for ice), but still talked big snow, but did not laugh at the ankle biters.
One to two years ago, we transitioned to ankle biters and then rationalizing drifts from ankle biters as big snow.
This year, folks are getting fuzzy over sole skimmers and ankle biters. Big snow is not even part of serious discussion anymore.
Yep, some folks surrounding central KY have gotten some near big snows, but us domers’ mainly get ice.
Nope fellow bloggies:
Give me big snow, or give me Speedos, a diving board and a Pabst Blue Ribbon- Cousin Eddie style 🙂
Aside from one cool day next week, it’s looking rather warm with highs pushing 60 by next weekend and lows in the mid to upper 40’s for most of the week. I’m tired of these one or two days of cold with a few flurries. If it isn’t going to snow, let’s move on to spring and stay warm.
psssstt….. i think you mean Wendy’s. not Burger King.
and as i was driving down Cleveland Rd today, my son says, “wow, look at all the snow.” poor kid.
good evening and weekend from the town of wayne, wva. at 10:45pm the light snow has stopped with the temp holding at 20 to 23 degrees, right where it has been for most of the day. looks as though the wayne area came in on the low side of accumalations with just around 1/2 to 3/4 inches of snow so far. the wind was the big story last night and today with wind chills at times going below zero. the local schools were closed today, probably due to the extreme cold more than any thing.
looking ahead to late saturday into saturday night with the clipper, it looks like a swath of a coating to as much as 2 inches tops from the ohio river and points south. accumalations will be lesser toward the ohio river and greatest south of i-64 and across southern wva.
you can almost look at radar to see the track the clipper is going to take across kentucky and southern wva.
also wanted to take this time to say i think chris bailey is doing an excellent job with a very tough winter so far in terms of forecasting and even chris has went on record and said that a rain to snow event was one of his weaknesses in the weather dept. as far as predicting accumalations. well guess what? this was no different, based on some of the comments on wsaz.com, some area did not recieve not 1 iota and some people got as much as 3,4,and 5 inches. it is ok to be weak in some areas because as good as you are, no 1 is perfect and as bloggers if we can do any better then we need to shut up and put our money where our mouth is at and go to school and see if we can do it any better. i, for 1 will just keep my day time job, if you will.
sorry to be so windy tonight but i get so tired of seeing people constantly critisizing mr. bailey for a service, whether he gets paid or not, that he puts so much effort into it just for me and you. thanks for reading and good night and god bless each and every one of you.
hmmm…kind of interesting here in knox co. or at least in my area the radar is filling in, and its beginning to snow again…upslope just doesnt want to go away tonight, not hurting my feelings either…lol
