Good evening, everyone. Firs off, I’m tired. After being up most of last night to track the morning little thumper of snow, your friendly weatherdude even gave up a day off to go into work for a while. I have to pace myself since it’s not even December, yet! 🙂
Areas of light to moderate snow continue for much of central and eastern Kentucky. With temps below freezing, watch for slick travel conditions to develop. Here are your radars for the rest of the evening…
Snow showers and flurries wind down from southwest to northeast early Tuesday, but cold winds remain.
The next system continues to be a bit of an enigma. The models seem to change with how they handle an upper low working across the plains. Some models split this energy with a small piece rolling across our region and a larger piece going southwest.
The earlier NAM brought this out in one piece, but the latest NAM brought a smaller system with a touch of rain and snow…
That’s similar to the afternoon EURO…
I’m still not sure any model is handling all this correctly.
Regardless, the signals continue to show up for a much colder than normal December. It’s has a real chance to become our snowiest since 2010. We will dive into all that later today… If I don’t fall asleep first. Just kidding, you guys know I don’t sleep.
Enjoy the evening and take care.
Unfortunately, this is another addition to the long list of complete duds…
You mentioned first time since 1976 we have had snow on the ground on Dec.1. That was a tough winter it was extremly cold we had 8 inch
waterlines froze six feet down in Paintsville. There was a major fire in downtown Salyersville. I don’t remember how much snow we had but it stayed on all winter.
