Good Sunday, folks. The winter storm in progress may end up as a crippling storm for many areas of Kentucky. Significant amounts of ice, sleet and snow are likely through Monday. For some… this will be a full blown ice storm before the transition to sleet and snow.
Freezing rain accumulations from .25″-1″ will be possible for several areas of the state. That would be more than enough to bring down trees and power lines. How much freezing rain you get will depend on exactly when the transition to sleet and snow takes place. That won’t be a uniform change throughout the area, but one that spreads from northwest to southeast. The worst of the winter storm comes this evening into early Monday.
Sleet and snow accumulations may end up between 4″ and 8″ for much of the state. If snow takes over sooner than expected… those numbers would be higher. Gusty winds of 35mph will be likely through early Monday and that will help to cause power issues.
This is a dangerous winter storm for the entire state. I will be at work through the entire event and have frequent live updates on WKYT-TV. We will also have wall to wall coverage if necessary with a full staff on hand for team weather coverage.
Help the weather world out by posting the weather conditions where you live. Frequent updates during such a storm will really help us out in determining how the precipitation types are playing out.
Let’s track…

It’s still nothing but rain on the south side of Lexington
Just noticed that the liquid precip has now turned to ice outside.
Raining hard with thunder in paintsville.
Sorry your 4 day weekend bit the dust, but glad you’re here to keep us up to date
Just rain all morning (thank goodness) in Louisville.
Not true NE Louisville has had ice Middletown area
True in the Highlands. We were lucky.
Yes, our trees and mailbox are covered with about .10″ of ice in NE Louisville (Worthington Hills)
We must be neighbors c-BIV.
Noticed on my weather.com app hourly forecast it has our temp in Lexington in the mid to upper 20s later today with freezing rain. If the temp really was that low precipitation would be snow, right?
No–it depends on the temp a few hundred feet above the ground. in 1994 we had rain with temps in the teens–it simply froze on contact.
First batch of precip moving out of Lawrenceburg. Temp still 32–no ice accumulation as of yet.
St. Albans, WV 39 degrees and mix of sleet and rain.
This will be a Rolocoaster ride for sure. I now acknowledge that Rolo could be right in his prediction for “old school” for all, but that could be a very bad thing in this icing situation.
its about time he only predicts it 7-10 times per year. Bound to get it right eventually.
lol. Ain’t that the truth!
Very balmy here in Laurel county. Temps feel low to mid 60’s. Thinking this will be a potentially very bad ice storm for southern Kentucky *if* things develop.
Yep..Southern looks to be in the bad spot..Also posted this in the other thread..Jackson’s AFD this morning..
Reading the AFD at KJKL this morning and they seem to think system has more moisture..Also thinks ice will be common..Have not looked and seen if they updated..
0.5 to isolated 1″ amounts of ice, combined with 25+ gusts of wind would lead to a crippling event for southern Kentucky. I pasted a link to the SPIA scale for ice storms. Note that higher winds magnifies the damage. And, unfortunately, higher winds are forecasted. http://www.spia-index.com/SPIAIndexDescription.png
Temps rising in Frankfort? Went down to 33 and now rising. Currently 34.
Now it’s 35.
Yeah, I went up 2 degrees here at my house. Currently at 35 degrees. No precip at the moment.
31 and freezing rain near Athens, OH.
Edgewood, KY. (NKY) ice accumulation on everything. a smidge of sleet. Amount of precipitation has really slowed– seem to be in a temporary lull.
Hey Edgewood, I’m in Cincy! Just went out to see how much ice we had and I measured 2 tenths of an inch. Like you we had some sleet which at least gives you a bit of traction. Can you tell how much ice you’ve gotten? Just looked at John Gumm’s facebook and he said power outages likely.
And they did anticipate a lull. The second wave will arrive later and bring snow with it.
But according to the NWS only 1-3″. And that seems plausible. More north AND south.
about same ice as you. Doppler Tim is lowering to 1-3 inches. 🙁 I am all stocked up w hot chocolate and marshmallows anticipating the revolving door of sledding, wet snow clothes, and cold kids….. (but happily tired kids)— so I hope more snow comes…..
30 degree temperature gradient is only about 50 – 60 miles wide in the southern portion of the state. We have dropped from 51 to 44 here in Pikeville over the last hour.
Where is this precip coming from. Looks like 90% rain south of Ohio River. Unless something else is suppose develope the Louisville area will not see much out of this storm. #littleconfused
Woke up in Indy a 6 this morning to freezing rain. Changed over to heavy snow. Most teams abandoned the tournament and we headed home. 65 south was a mess with Snow and Ice through Seymour. After that just ice up until Sellersburg. Wet roads from there to the River. Huge pine tree fell across north bound lanes past Henryville. Had traffic backed up for around 5 miles.
Look at the convection in Arkansas and Missouri. That’ll explode over west and central Ky to give us our main event.
Dumb question:
Why did the temps seem to drop rapidly the past few hours, only to grind to a halt at 32 to 33, fluctuating….I mean, if the arctic front is on the move, shouldn’t temps keep going down, and not stopping? I’m sure they will fall more shortly, but weird that the temps just stop falling like that with a front on the move.
Wasn’t the front supposed to stall out? Seems like it’s primed to stall over southern Kentucky.
That has more to do with the “heating of the day”. The front has also slowed down, but once the main wave gets it’s act together, it’ll keep chugging. When the front moves a little further out, you’ll notice your temps will continue to drop.
Things appear to be playing out just as I thought. Temp fell to 33 in Huntington WV. Been raining hard for several hours. Looks like another 33-35 degree rainstorm. The pattern of the Winter. Warm air hangs too tough, cold can’t overcome the last 2 or 3 degrees. Precip moving out on radar. Cold didn’t catch up to it. As usual.
did those thoughts include the actual storm? still hours away…don’t fall for the pre-storm ruse…
Then on that note it seems to be a southern storm. Louisville may only get light amounts of precip. The way the maps look.
Lol…just watch that radar light up later today and fill in the blanks.
Get back down here and be ready to plow.
This will NOT miss Louisville for anyone thinking it will, good luck with that 🙂
I agree B. All rain south LuMetro. It rained hard all morning and now the clouds are breaking up a bit. Looks like eastern Jeff Co. Had some ice earlier.
Freezing rain earlier in Walton, KY but stopped now. Chris is this storm not going to be as bad in northern KY now? Looks like the radar doesn’t show much more precipitation up here.
Widen out your view toward the west- it’s coming.
58 and occasional light rain in Hazard KY
Did you all not see that the MAIN event is this EVENING/OVERNIGHT…this is the “relative calm” before the storm. It’s coming…..
Balmy and breezy in Clay Co. at the moment.
This is terrible, up to an inch of ice?? That would be completely devastating.
This was just the beginning. The main event comes in later and will last through the night. Check out earlier posts.
Sitting under freezing here in greenup…started to ice the porch
32.4 in Hopkinsville right now light rainy mist, ground is already wet.
36 degrees in Nancy, 25 degree drop in a little over an hour.
Everyone keeps saying main event overnight, but does this apply to Northern KY (Covington) as well? NWS has dramatically decreased totals for us and everything seems either south or north of us.
Trying to plan out stuff for tomorrow, so any help would be appreciated.
33 degrees and a steady rain in Catlettsburg, KY
Trying to get my daughter up and moving so she can get back to Alice Lloyd before it hits so I tell her, ” I know I always make a big deal about the weather, but today it IS a big deal!”
Western KY is about to get slammed but the main storm won”t arrive until tonight… it’s gonna get ugly!
Temperature dropped from 48 to 38 in about a 15 minute time span in London. Rain and windy.
Down to 36 degrees in Pikeville!
Temps dropped in 20 degrees in one hour in Somerset, 56-36
Yeap….and not one store in Pulaski County has kerosene heaters..really thinking we might have power outs during the night and Monday morning. And if the roads are icy wouldn’t be able to get to a Shelter.
Oh…………. C H R I S
Thanks for putting the WKYT studio cam on this latest post 🙂
Temp in Clay Co. has dropped from 62* to 45* in just over an hour. Are we looking to get walloped with ice?? Any insight appreciated??
Here in Gracey/Hopkinsville, we’ve had a steady wintry mix since about 9 a.m. this morning. Some small ice accumulation on trees. Some heavy rain/freezing rain at times, including rumbles of thunder here and there. Temps hovering around 33 degrees all morning.
Still in 50s in knott co for now
Weather Channel has changed Lexington’s ice accumulation to less than 1/10 of an inch, but 4-8 inches of snow? Does that seem right to you guys who know a lot more about this than me? Thanks again.
Sounds about right, I think the potential is there for a bit more ice though.
Ryan what about morgan co how much ice and snow do you think we will get?
Hey Marsha, I think Morgan county has a shot at 4-9″ of snow with 0.2-0.4″ of ice.
As Chris tweeted, temps will go up slightly then tank when the rest of the system rolls in. The ice earlier has melted; temps about 34-36 now.
Andy, am I reading the Wunderground right … you are at 67 degrees? Impressive if correct!
According to TWC we started out at 57 this morning and now we are at 46 here in knox.
Heavy rain in Harrodsburg from about 9-12. 35 degrees and no precip at the moment/
Steady rain now north of Hazard.
NWS saying the heaviest snows will be south of 64, at this rate tennessee will get heavy snow if it keeps moving south, might be good news for southern KY snow lovers?
Seems to be flowing more south than forecast, but key wrod is “seems”.
Word wrod, whatever.
Rain and 40 degrees in Corbin…temps dropped about 22 degrees in the last 2 and half hours
66 degrees here in Middlesboro. Sure wish that wouldn’t change. The possibility of the amount of ice is a bit scary
Temperatures started out this morning in Clay County around 55 degrees. It has fallen to 42 degrees and the rain is coming down.
Seems like every weather source has a different accumulation forecasts for this one, ranging from 8″ by WDRB. Definitely a nowcast situation. Anyone have a good prediction for Owensboro/Daviess County? Precip has stopped for now but temps are in the upper 20s.
Less than 2″ by AccuWx to more than 8″ by WDRB
Light rain and 41* in Manchester.
Temperatures continue to climb in Lincoln, up almost 2 degrees since Noon. Hmm……..
The warm air has powers that only Torch can understand 😉
Your point?
… Have I ever had one?
I meant BPS
2 degrees in 2 hours is major;)
So far the stuff looks to be tracking just to the south of north Richmond. Temps went up too. The mets were saying this morning the temps would drop through the day, but have gone up three degrees so far.
Not complaining, since a nice surprise so far. It has been dry now for about 90 minutes. As you look at the flow, the precipitation looks like shifting more south, which fits what is happening right now.
Forecast still on target?
Ditto for south Lex, since was there at noon and 33 degrees. Was 36 there too when I left.
Louisville did a quick drop countywide temps now between 28-31 the cold air is on the move and heading your way.
🙁 I frankly want this to miss, since where I live is an ice magnet and the power goes out with ice accumulation. Not failed to happen once. Boo!
Chris tweeted earlier that this would happen. They will crash when the storm gets in here.
I am more interested in the actual flow, since so far seems more south. I do not recall anyone mentioning a lull in the precipitation, but a transition to frozen stuff. Nothing from mid Richmond on north for now for nearing two hours. It looks like it is pressing more south so far, as it moves from the west.
I think this is more to do with my (incorrect?) perception rather than an actual change. Reality is in the mind of the beholder 😉
Except some around here think that they are always right.
Speaking of, where is our friendly resident Goat Whisperer?
LOL 🙂
The local mets here had been calling for a lull in precip, and are advising that this morning’s rain..freezing for some was just the first event. Everything that was wet is now freezing here. Roads still good, but have seen salt trucks around since this morning.
CB didn’t really mention a lull in precip. I don’t know if you follow anyone else, but most other mets mentioned it. I like to view many mets POV to know things others might not mention or say.
It was on his twitter feed
It was a bit late, I was aware of this lull a couple days ago.
Pat yourself on the back a little then 😉
Heavy rain right now in Glasgow.
Dropped from 32.3° to 29.1° in NE Louisville past hour.
Went to Lowes and the wind is very cold. It’s a misty rain.
Does anyone know what Chris means by becoming more bullish?
He said that on his Twitter feed.
He thinks either we will perhaps hit the higher totals, and or he might upgrade.
I like the prospect of an upgrade.
Thank you Bubba !
Had a nice three-hour break in precip now in Lawrenceburg. Pavement outside is actually starting to dry now.
I did not expect this, so a nice surprise. For now…
NWS Louisville just put out a 3:15 update…still calling for 4-8 inches of snow and .1-.3 inches of ice from Louisville to Lexington. The zone south of that–say Bowling Green north to about Danville–.3-.75 inches of ice and 3-7 inches of snow. South of that .2-.6 inches of ice and 2-4 inches of snow.
Our storm is really getting its act together to our south and west. I’m dreading the ice, but whoever ends up with a *mainly snow* solution will get a huge dose of heavy, wet, fluffy stuff.
Yes, parts of northern Arkansas are getting crippling freezing rain now per a MD by the SPC about an hour ago. Afraid much of that is headed our way.
Current temps:
Memphis TN 33
Tupelo MS 75
Did anyone catch what Chris said on WKYT during the half time of the Basketball game?
Freezing rain and sleet in wKY right now with good amount of lightning. Radar really lighting up from wKY to Texas. Thinking more sleet and snow for central KY with biggest ice threat in se KY. He had the highest snow/sleet amounts across the 64 corridor, I think it was 4-8″ but don’t quote me on that.
Thanks Packman
Radar looking interesting to the west, Thundersnow for some folks tonight is likely!
And thundersleet! And thunder ice!
Thunder everything, maybe even thunder graupel
So Bowling Green looking to get pretty Dirty? Sunday Funday it is!!!!!
Rain and fog here, temp still holding at 46, looks like he upped our ice totals! Oh no!
I gotta say, the radar looks IMPRESSIVE!!!
Certainly!
Looks like the moderate sleet has begun in Owensboro. Hopefully were done with the freezing rain now.
do you know if it’s snowing in Paducah.
looking at the radar it looks like it’s snowing in far west Kentucky.
but we know that the radar can play tricks on us.
Just took a gander at the Paducah webcam looks like that is sleet in Paducah decent covering of white looks more like sleet than snow.
I’m still sticking with a very bad ice storm event for southern Kentucky. 0.5 to 0.75 amounts, with an isolated 1″ amount here and there. With winds gusting over 20-25 MPH, this would lead to an historic icing event in this region. Of course, I of the Blowtorch theory that went totally awry will probably be wrong, LOL
Well judging by the looks of the radar and louisville sitting at 28 degrees all he** is going to break loose in about one hour.
My area of Louisville is at 29. Elevated surfaces that were wet from earlier rain are now glazed over.
Get ready, folks! Kentucky’s 2014 winter storm is upon us! It’s going to get rough!
Not often this happens.
Currently 77 degrees in Forest Hills, Alabama (near Florence/Muscle Shoals). Even while there are Winter Storm Warnings and Freezing Rain Advisories out for that area!
I am holding steady at 28 in my part of Louisville. Cold enough for snow/ice but strangely, its is just drizzle. Surfaces are still wet w/ liquid water which will freeze soon. The radar seems to have an east/west flow more pronounced that what I thought it would? Is the storm supposed to build north?
I was thinking the same thing, dry slots south and east of St. Louis, if this keeps more of a eastward movement much less totals are going to happen for northern half of KY?
If you look
At national
Radar, you can see a northeast flow
Clear and 32 in North Garrard.
43,000 ft thunderstorm elevation with surface temp of only 27 degrees near Waco, TX. 80 degree temp gradient across TX (87 to 7). I’m not sure if this is a simple weather system or Gaia starting to go into crazy ex-girlfriend mode.
http://www.twitter.com/DrGregForbes/status/440223753629229056
Thanks Chris for letting us know about the live update on wkyt 27. Clay is now in 4-8 inches of snow and up to .75 of ice. I hope for more snow and less ice in our area!!! It is still raining here.
JKL may have to issue flood warnings for some counties here in SEKY. This rain just keeps training over us and its quite heavy.
With Clay Co. being in the area that could see higher ice potential, why not a ice storm watch/warning? Anyone???
Still daylight in Lexington!
Foggy in the distance … pavement dry.
Down to 29 in east frankfort, something frozen is on the way?
My total snow accumulation for bullitt county Kentucky is
((end time of precipitation) – (start time of precipitation))* 1.25)-(total hours precip not falling as snow) = 8 inches
37 degrees and heavy rain here in Belfry, Northeast Pike County.
Take the state of Mo and divide it in half. The south half is under winter storm warnings. I would think the storm itself would actually be upon them by now, but the entire southern half of the state that is under warnings is DRY……..
This is going to be ugly look at the moisture in MO and AK = aagghhh
HPC winter weather prediction has Lexington and central KY back in the slight risk of 12 inches……Back in the moderate risk of 8, and high risk of 4………….Earlier, it went from moderate risk of 8, back to slight risk, now back to moderate risk……
Still raining and just heard thunder in Glasgow.
My wife’s parents in Bowling Green heard thunder a while ago. Still just a cold moderate rain there at the moment.
Off and on light rain just down I-65 here in Nashville, 39 degrees, reluctantly awaiting the ice storm 🙁 .
Heavy freezing rain in Ohio Co
29 and steady near Iroquois Park and freezing rain is coming down now. It’s sticking to everything.
Severe Weather Concepts posted this on Facebook: (NKY)
I-275 in Fort Wright at the KY 17 exit is being SHUT DOWN due to ice. Find an alternate route if you must use this road. Of course, if you don’t need to be out, DON’T.
(this area of highway has lots of rolling hills and elevated parts of road)
You follow Corey and Jeremy too! They’re my go to, along with Chris, for anything weather. They’re good. They just posted that totals have been dramatically taken down. Suppression!!!!
Fine mist of precip. About 32 degrees.
Freezing rain has turned to sleet and covering all surfaces.
Where?
Temperature just now went to 33.9 in Lincoln. Beginning to remind me of our last Sunday storm that rained, rained, rained at 33 degrees all afternoon, evening & night. Temp has dropped .3 degrees in 1 hour, at this rate it will be midnight before we go below 32.
Ice is starting to form on my porch in the Morgantown area
snowing at a good clip here in athens ohio
Light rain turned to sleet after just a few minutes in Floyd Co, IN. Here we go…
temp sitting at 26
Awesome looking storm on radar, anyone who says this looks underdeveloped is just not looking at it right lol.
Click here for ntnl radar
Is there a chance we just get rain from this in morgan co Ryan?
Slim chance, Marsha. Prepare for snow & ice
Thanks Ryan for taking the time to answer our question…
Ok Ryan, what’s it’s looking like for NE KY from Ashland- Morehead?
I have a forecast map on my blog if you want to check that out, click my name. Chris has you all in the 3-8″ range.
I think you all will get mostly snow, however, the potential for significant ice accumulation is still there.
What do you think we end up with here in Pikeville Ryan?
Click my name to see my forecast.
I think we will have to deal with quite a bit of ice here. Chris has part of the county in the greatest risk area for ice. Also, his map has us under 3-8″
Thanks for the info. Living here in Pikeville(Belfry actually)I will definitely check out your local forecasts frequently I’m sure. Let’s hope the ice is not the major story with this storm and we hit the high end of the accumulation predictions. Just to play it safe I’ve got the generators ready and enough firewood and coal in the garage to keep the fireplace burning for days. Thanks again!
food coma starting to form here in Lexington…too much midday snacking, not sure if this is related to the incoming storm or not. stay tuned….
Everybody in agreement that this is gonna be “The big one” for central KY? I hope we don’t lose power!!!!!
41° and moderate rain falling here in Keavy area. The raindrops appear to be fairly thick. When they hit the surface, they seem to splatter slower than usual. Is this common?
Chatroom is open and it is always opened for chatting. Link is
http://www.weatherforkentucky.chatango.com/
Looking for people that actually know weather to join the chat and help with some of the meaning people wants to know means. I am just your normal (yeah right) person and I am minimal at weather knowledge. I encourage wxmet to come chat with us. I would also love to see Chris Bailey make appearances in the room with us. It would be my HONOUR if he makes a visit to us.
If you all could come and we’d get rapid fire updates in your town, that’d help. It’s also a lot easier than commenting and scrolling and all.
Who’s up for taking bets on when Mr. Bailey ends up in Twitter jail?
At times like this the retweet number tends to border on the ridiculous, but he’s always opportunistic about brand building so it’s to be expected.
28 here in LOU with freezing rain coming down. Everything coated. Hoping that we don’t lose electricity. :o)
30 degrees here in west Hardin County. My car and my deck are now covered in a glaze of ice and trees are getting white. Icicles forming everywhere.
Well now we are at 27 degrees. Dropping quickly. :/
Sleet just started in LOU (Highview).
It is 29 degrees here with Freezing Rain/Sleet falling
Still just rain in Glasgow.
Heavy sleet in Jtown!!!! 28 degrees!
Getting freezing drizzle now in L’burg……..
This low is moving due east at the moment. Hugh dry slot west of Louisville. Don’t see us getting as much as the are talking. The parkways and little to the north seem to be the main stream. Lex going to get more thn us.
Folks, if you’re playing along at home with the KWC Home Bingo, everyone who had #dryslot needs to mark their board and do a shot of your choice.
Bjenks Louisville is fine filling in beautifully to the west
Pretty good sleet in Crestwood
Sleeting here in Louisville.
According to wave 3 The change over to snow will be between 10 p.m. To 11 p.m.
Crap stuck With sleet For another 3 to 4 hours.
Dodger liking this storm potential! Will be interesting to see how it plays out now. Hoping it’s not a bust for some areas. Dodger!
rodger dodger ,looks good
30 in Lawrenceburg with light freezing rain. Weather service holding firm on 4-8 inches of snow for this area.
Got Freezing Drizzle on Clark Fayette Co line on Winchester Road… At least cars are coated and its drizzling
Heavy rain in Pine Knot. McCreary Co.
The NWS dropped our snow totals in the Lex area from 4-8 inch range to 2-4 inch range… boo
don’t know what you’re looking at. They most certainly did not.
My bad – just realized it said southern indiana and then followed up with the central ky totals.
Where did that information come from? I haven’t seen or heard of any decrease in totals…
Last conference call had no changes…
I just stated that I had misread. On the weather site when I clicked the warning it stated “main impact will be 2-4 inches in southern Indiana” I missed the southern Indiana part. It went on to state the Central Ky totals after that.
Well in his defense, not exactly like any of these big events have panned out for many. They usually miss most areas and hit a few with frozen events. I still think we will see the lower end in a lot of areas due to stuff other than snow falling. Or in some cases, not falling (dry slots!). We shall see. The maps seem reasonable, since account for total getting cut by non snow.
Now down to 35 degrees here in Nashville, rain starting to become more moderate.
Freezing rain now reported in Clarksville TN. Been freezing rain at Ft Campbell/Hopkinsville KY for a while.
Heavy freezing rain now in Memphis TN with thunder.
6:00 P.M. NWS briefing…totals look the same as earlier.
http://www.crh.noaa.gov/images/lmk/pdf/briefing/Winter02Mar14-Sun6PMbrief.pdf
Thanks for the clarification. We have a cold rain here in Versailles.
Thank you for all you do!!!
Sleet and snow in frankfort, temp 27
You sure, snow already?
Yes, the change over has already happened in east frankfort!
51 degrees in Middlesboro a high of 69 today around 1:30. Hoping the warm air will hang on long enough to minimize ice potential.
So far, this has been a bust. Allow me to explain why. A bust for my area, at least. We were forecast by the NWS to get 10 inches of snow and .5 to 1.0 inches of ice. Freezing rain was supposed to have started this afternoon. Instead, all we gotten is rain. The radar shows some precip coming in later. However, alot of it is staying south. Temp is dropping. So, it looks like any changeover to FR will be brief. It might just switch all to snow instead.
Where are you exactly?
Don’t be so sure. NWS listed the WSW through tomorrow… I wouldn’t call it a “bust” until after the warning expires. I can remember heavy freezing rain at 17 degrees (’94).. So air temps don’t necessarily equate percipitation types.
Be thankful it could be 1 inch of ice your dealing with
Nothing but rain in BG. Temps have held steady all day. Once again the bubble holds.
Sleeting here in nw lex
Will this LIFT into Louisville….it looks as if the main brunt will stay south…or am I reading this wrong? We were supposed to get 6″?
The main brunt WILL stay to your south, however, most of that will be more freezing rain and sleet. The fact that you’re a bit north of the heaviest precip actually puts you in a prime zone for snow. Check out the regional radar, tons of moisture filling in to your west!
Thanks for your kind and informative reply…LOVE this blog!
Out of all the people already throwing the “bust” term around, I have to wonder how many of you were home schooled?
What an arrogant remark about homeschooled people.
I have my popcorn ready, this thread better get poppin’ 🙂
my home school teacher doesn’t know…how do those dry pockets form? they appear random.
Just FYI, all three of my children are home schooled. My oldest scored a 1947 on his SAT. Any time you want to be schooled on Meteorology I’ll be more than happy to let my eleven year old /home schooled/ daughter educate you?
Currently raining in Richmond. Starting to freeze up a bit on elevated surfaces. Just went outside and there are beads of ice starting to develop on the cars and fence.
I’ll like our chance in frankfort for mainly snow since we have already changed over to snow, just the dry slots on radar to the west need to fill in and we might be business for a good one!
Yup, transition to snow is now commencing in Lex!
Wet surfaces now freezing in Mercer and steady drizzle coming down.
Freezing rain in Winchester. Elevated surfaces already covered.
NWS Paducah’s reports of ice/sleet as of 4pm central/5pm eastern (click here)
44 degrees and rain at Dorton in Southern Pike County.
35 and rain northern Pulaski county……shocker
Raining steadily in East Morehead… First sign of freezing rain about 5 minutes ago… Chain link fence has a few ice pellets on it.. Radar says transition any minute… BOTS (not ice)..
33 degrees
CB just posted of light snow at the station and thinking south Kentucky gets most of the ice. Richmond is about twenty miles as the crow flighs from there. Our luck is we are part of the south he refers to.
Where I am is only 14 miles, but probably the same as luck goes. So close, yet so far away 😉
lol. The tone of his tweet was that good that we get it instead of him.
Well, that’s anything but a “great sign” for we in the south.
Here’s to hoping NONE of us have to deal with much ice….
That did seem to be a poke at southern folks plight…. CB was as cold as our rain with that tweet 😉
Bubba I told him we didn’t want it lol.
30 in Ashland…snow mixing in
Just a quick question – are any of you familiar with or have downloaded this app:
http://www.nssl.noaa.gov/projects/ping/
It’s called the mPing Project, Meteorological Phenomena Identification Near the Ground. It’s purpose is to gain meteorological data through the use of smart phones.
I know that Chris has always encouraged us to share information about our local weather. Is this something that would be beneficial for the public at large for us to participate in?
Here’s the link to the summary page of what has been reported:
http://mping.nssl.noaa.gov/display/
I would really be interested in hearing your thoughts about this. Thanks so much!
I use this, if I remember. It does help the NWS crate Graphical Nowcasts, and says where the boundaries are.
Thanks so much, Israel, for taking your time to respond to my question. I just somehow stumbled upon this tonight while searching for weather information, so I truly am interested in hearing opinions about it since I had never heard about it before. Thanks!!
It’s very good and useful! Your welcome 🙂
Freezing rain and light snow in southern Clark Co. There’s a thin layer of ice coating everything.
Freezing rain here in Olive Hill started about 30 minutes ago. Cars already glazed. Going to be a long night..
Its snowing Here in hikes point.
anybody else around Louisville receiving snow.
….yes, in the Highlands, but it is NOT snow-apocalypse rates by any stretch of the imagination…..very very light snow…
Louisville mets downgrading snow totals to 3-4 inches now.
So it begins, the nowcasting backaway. Were those mets home schooled? LD might want to know 😉
I say ignore LD. He’s busted. LOL
Where did you see this?
They didn’t say anything about lowering totals they said this about 14 mins ago.
We will adjust if needed. I want to observe the radar trends more to make sure we have completed eroded the warm layer aloft. If we do, then we will need to raise snow amounts. Brian Goode WAVE TV
I see that you’re referring to the forecast of Jay Cardosi. Well, he has most of Jefferson County in the 4-8 area, but he is notorious lowballer of totals. It’s snowing in my part of Louisville right now and the vast majority of the moisture hasn’t even begun to approach us.
Expected snow and sleet accumulations by tomorrow morning. About 3 to 4 inches expected around the metro was Cardosi’s tweet an hour ago.
Might want to read the NWS forecast update then. They say cold air is winning the battle and they may up snow totals. WLKY changed their forecast 4 or 5 times since yesterday.
Not sure who you’re watching, but Wave, WHAS, and the Louisville NWS are predicted between 4-8 inches during the 6 PM hour. In fact, Wave was at the NWS office and the lead forecaster was quite bullish on heavy snow for the city especially just south of Louisville.
Of Pike County KY the Virgie area about 30 min from pikeville
the temps about 36 degrees and raining very hard. Its been raining for several hours.
SPC put out an MD just before 6pm central/7eastern about the latest in ice/sleet potential for KY and TN.

Let’s hope for more sleet than ice!
Paducah NWS is a joke. They put out a briefing at 5:00 that was still calling for Murray to still get 3/4 inch of ice and to not change over to sleet until 8:00. The changeover to sleet had already occurred by 3:45 before they put out this briefing. We only got 1/10 inch of ice before a changeover to sleet.
Now that the change over to snow is happening earlier than predicted maybe some spots higher than 8 inches?
All though frankfort area is fighting the ongoing dry slots at the moment, some spots might get thumped tonight?
Freezing rain and 30 degrees here in e. carter co. Hope it doesn’t last long……but I’m afraid it could.
Just came in from eating out (went to Berea and live close to exit 83 off I-75 in Madison County). Down to 31 at the house, but no ice forming on elevated surfaces yet.
What is up with Lexington always getting these dry slots? Huge winter storm everywhere and here it is barely misting. I find it a strange phenomenon. Lexington has an aversion to winter weather. (I know there is a ton of moisture still to come.)
Same in frankfort, every direction you look lots of moisture, but a dry hole over frankfort and Lexington areas?
As always their is a battle to fight with every storm!
The donut hole over lex is hilarious.
Hilarious is one word for it.
In about six hours or so, snow will be falling and may accumulate a half dozen donuts high by the time it’s over….
Of course, I would not bet my donuts on this…
Ha! I got it.
Just looked outside and my car is getting coated in ice. I’m in Richmond–can we please, please get more SNOW than ICE!
It’s 30 degrees and raining in Lincoln…..
BPS, we’ve got 28 and a steady freezing rain up on the Knobs here in Southern Lincoln county
It never ceases to amaze me that we get more 30 degree rain storms than any place on Earth….or at least it seems that way! 29.2 now in northern Lincoln.
Ice glazing here in Stanford. Hope it turns quickly.
Quick change to sleet here in Olive Hill.
Heavy sleet is coming down here. Roads are a mess, completely covered in ice. My neighbor didn’t make it 10 feet past their driveway before turning back around.
22z run of the RAP now picking up on possible heavy snow amounts for some. It shows 3-4″ for Louisville; however, a heavy band of snow just south could result in higher totals like maybe at my house in Valley Station. Could this be the night I finally get more snow than the rest of the county? Probably not, but there’s a chance.
This aggressive run of the RAP shows at least 5″ for Lexington with 6+” setting up between Bardstown and Lexington, if sleet stays out of the mix, primarily between 2 and 5am.
I’m betting on a big thumping of ICE just before about 10″+ of snow here in Bardstown…..if we don’t get that much snow, it won’t surprise me, being in the “Ice Storm Capitol of the World”! LOL! 🙂
Richmond too, but it would be ice or rain anyway, so a win. I really do not see us getting a big snow event out of this, but a fool for the trend.
This should hace been in tge post about the big hole over Lexington.
Bubba you are the best spot for a thumping snow tonight, 8 plus inches weeeeeeeeeeee!
had to do that since Rolo is in hiding!
I can not shake the impact of ice, sleet and dry slots. 8″ becomes 2″ to 3″? Weeeeeeeee!
Where is Rolo?!!!
I see you’ve been contaminated with the UK Basketball ‘Can Do!’ attitude of achievement. 😉
Freezing rain and/or sleet in all directions, layers of ice already forming everywhere in the general vicinity…except Berea. This dome continues to confound me in both good and bad ways.
Heavy sleet has begun in Owensboro. Change over coming soon
After the dry slot frankfort is back into sleet again, this is a NOwcasting storm for sure tonight, constant changing conditions!
Where in Louisville is it snowing? I live near Iroquois park and nothing but heavy sleet.
Sleet here too in Valley Station. I measured 0.25″ sleet accumulation as of a few minutes ago.
It was snowing in Hikes point for about 10 minutes.
it switch back 2 boring sleet
Sleeting still in Jtown.
Be sure to come to http://www.weatherforkentucky.chatango.com/ for rapid fire updates.
We’d like to know the conditions in you backyard and who has what. Better than scrolling and commenting anyway.
Still looking pretty good here in Lexington. We had very mild freezing rain, but now it appears to be very mild sleet. We’ll no doubt still get the snow, which I don’t mind, but not much ice, which is a relief. Thanks for all the info guys.
everything is COVERED in ice and sleet here now. Temp is at 30.4 deg! sidewalk is very slick!
Four miles south of nws office in Louisville and all sleet
Where is the low right now?
And back to freezing rain in Olive Hill…
Windshield is iced over here in Berea.
1-2 inches of snow and sleet on the ground here outside Hopkinsville, 26 degrees, the radar is lighting up! Most of the states could see 9+ inches of snow?
http://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1/1098201_655089101205018_1028129683_n.jpg
It’s was snowing a couple hours ago in frankfort at a temp of 27, now its 24 and sleeting, still some warm air aloft fighting north!
Not surprisingly, there’s nothing but sleet in northeast Louisville. If the warm air aloft is deteriorating as the NWS claims, it hasn’t happened in my area yet. I can hear the sleet bouncing off the windows as I write.
A quick check of other stations along the river shows snow. Paducah, Evansville, and Owensboro all report light snow. I’m not sure why warm air like to ride up I-65 and sit over the top of Louisville, but it does it every time.
It should also be noted that at the very time the NWS discussed upping their totals at 7:40 based on the collapse of the warm air pocket aloft, they have now lowered the totals when I type in my area code. It was 5 inches over night with another inch in the morning. Now just a little more than three inches predicted. As is so often the case with the government, the left hand doesn’t seem to know what the right hand is doing.
One last comment. This reminds me in some ways of the December 2004 storm. All night, the NWS said the changeover back to snow from sleet was just about to happen and it did so just on the tail end or about 10 hours later.
Sadly, it looks like DT’s prediction of 9 inches or more for Louisville won’t happen.
fact is BAILEY has already missed big portion of forcast as 6-8 change over in SCENTRAL parts SE KY
rolo, come join the chat please http://www.weatherforkentucky.chatango.com/
Nws says they are considering upping snow totals
which nws?
Norwegian Weather Service
LOL
…touche’…
We have had freezing rain here in Winchester for about 3 hours now…
no new post on here since this morning? old information is not helping us
Chris’s job takes precedence since that is how he makes money
Still lame in Lexington. Radar shows even this much juice can’t outperform the magical forcefield here. Oh well. I’ll enjoy the low end of the totals in the morning, and one day I’ll learn not to get my hopes up around here in the winter time. I think the mountains are calling me.
That would be a good title for an indie film, Lame in Lexington.
Yes it would.
The sleet has change back to snow here in hikes point.
I’m on the other side of the Watterson from Hikes Point and just very light sleet here. I’ve had rain, freezing rain and sleet but not a single snowflake.
Yep, all sleet since about 430 here in C-wood
Holding steady at 40 degrees here in my part of SE KY. Moderate rain falling right now. I’m beginning to think flooding will be more of an issue here than ice or snow.
Since temperatures are still so warm, will all of the moisture be gone by the time the cold air arrives? I think that might be the case.
New NWS forecast as of 9:00 P.M. Lexington in 7-10.
http://www.crh.noaa.gov/images/lmk/pdf/briefing/Winter02Mar14-Sun9PMbrief.pdf
Not feelin” it, but we shall see. Ice, sleet and dry slots seem potential spoilers. Trends are powerful until busted.
Agree, that snow will really have to come down hard to get near those totals, but it is March sometimes these things come together!
I know the storm is basically already here, but the NAM was about the same.. maybe a tad bit north?
I’m still sticking with my original forecast! Hope everyone has a safe night.
How will ne ky do with snow??
My forecast is on my blog (click me name)! I think you’ll fair well with less ice!
The latest radar trends seem to show the snow line in Indiana slowly dropping south and Alot of the heaviest moisture is scooting east toward southern ky, 4-8 inches is looking less likely for central KY but we all have seen this before, sleet hanging tough in frankfort!
And who would this surprise? A grand media build up can only be matched by an equal implosion. Not too sure I am joking about the implosion 😉
still see the ground thru light coating of sleet in my part of lewis co.
Changed to snow here in flatwoods
Come chat with rolo at http://www.weatherforkentucky.chatango.com/
And stop scrolling through 300+ comments. Join chat and tell us what you are seeing in your backyard.
he sees OLD SCHOOL LoL i still see more rain than the other combined
The new NAM…wow for us in the Ashland area. That’s more snow than we have in our current forecast…maybe an additional 4-6 inches if the NAM is true.
What’s the nam showing??
Chris going for a record number of comments with out an update I guess, I know he is working tonight but not even a tweet for a while?
I am starting to get a UK vs South Carolina vibe. I felt similar to now before that game.
Usually he makes a very short post about posting your weather conditions.
Not sure what everybody else is seeing, but very light drizzle in north Lincoln & 28 degrees. Not even much in the way of ice that I can see. It’s going to have to start snowing soon & a lot to get anywhere close to some of these predicted totals. Just not seeing it.
This is going to last all night.The snow is showing on radar all the way across Kansas.That a lot of snow to work its away from west to east.
Snowing downtown Louisville
Heavy sleet in Greenup County. About 1/4″ so far and it’s really coming straight down! Temps around 36. Thanks Chris for your dedication to the weather community!
Correction on the temperatures. It’s 26! Bring on Spring!
I believe it’s starting to change to snow!
The changeover has occurred….
We received a little over 1/2″ of sleet. Now, it is snowing heavily in NE Louisville.
Belski had mentioned if the changeover occurred before Midnight, the higher snow totals would be reachable. Looks like we are in line for at least 6″ here.
Radar trends says doubtful!
If you’re only looking at the regional radar, I might understand that perspective. But really, look at the national mosaic.
The last relevant slug of moisture is really in NW Arkansas, at least 7 or so hours of good precip left from Louisville, longer as you move east. Also notice what I believe is the beginning of the heavy snow band forming north of Paducah and back into extreme Southern Illinois.
This band should continue to expand, and though it looks like it’ll be south of Louisville, a line roughly E’town to Lexington WILL get hammered (shamefully admit it tomorrow if I’m wrong). I bet most places in this band hit 8 inches with even just 4-5 hours of snow, and the E/W orientation of this band will allow the same places to see consistently heavy snow.
Radar: http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/full_loop.php
38 and rain here in knott co
Not much in Burgin (Mercer Co.) We have had some sleet, but not a flake of snow yet. It is, however, beginning to ice over my wooden porch. So, I guess we will keep waiting!
Radar suggests it’s snowing in Lexington. Reality is freezing drizzle and 26F in the Hamburg area. Some ice on windshields but not too much on the trees yet.
22 in frankfort with very light sleet, not seeing the snow totals being forecast, look at radar everything now is being shoved south, low total of snow amounts maybe in frankfort area, constant dry slots, warm nose, cold air pushing moisture further south, all the usual snow killing suspects at play tonight!
I’m not sure what radar you are looking at but it isn’t the same one I’m looking at.
Lawrence Co. 7 miles south of Louisa. Temp 29 and freezing drizzle. All elevated surfaces and some of my sidewalk is slick and ice covered. Hopefully this rain will quickly transition to snow. I’m still predicting the 6-10″ of snow. Here in E. KY we usually transition fairly quickly–normally!
22 degrees here and it appears heavy sleet is changing over to snow.
Steady sleet in north Richmond, so hopefully we and some further south dodged the main ice. CB is saying heavy snow is still on the way.
We hardly had any freezing rain at all. It’s been pretty much all sleet and now snow.
Happy to report that it’s still just a plain cold rain here in Corbin KY! Been raining here all evening!
Sleeting North Garrard
The freezing rain has changed over to sleet in downtown Richmond.
9:30 Hopkinsville, 1 1/2 in sleet on top of 1/4 ice on the deck. I am not brave enough to check the road.
Snow mixing with sleet in Georgetown!
Been a moderate/heavy mix of sleet and freezing rain here in western Garrard Co. for the past 45 mins. Back roads are coated in ice and a bit of slush. Looking at the national radar, that’s quite a large swath of precip that’s going to come through central ky. Thankfully it looks like we won’t get much freezing rain where I live.
National radar, slug of moisture is impressive! Extends all the way back to Kansas and Oklahoma, still a long ways to go tonight. This storm is nowhere near over. http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/full_loop.php

Make that heavy sleet now in Richmond.
Honestly, for Fayette county, the decision to wait until the morning to make a decision on schools is mind-boggling. I don’t live in Lexington, though I have, and I’m not even a parent, but it just doesn’t make sense.
Not even considering previous cancellations for much less, just looking at the radar and the forecast temperatures is a safe indication that roads will be fairly treacherous in the morning. Sorry for the rant, school decisions like that have always kind of been a pet peeve of mine, seems like an unnecessary inconvenience for people given the probable outcome and cancellation that’s coming anyway.
Same for Jefferson Co. in Louisville. Local news shows it as”Decision Pending.” Really??
Sleet changing to snow near Taylorsville.
They just recently closed schools for the one inch of snow we got and it melted by 10:00 am. They are crazy!
Hey, all! Don’t be throwing the hens to the foxes just yet!??! I’m in Bardstown, and it’s been a SMACKDOWN of sleet for around an hour or so now! I just came back in, and I saw faint lightning (no thunder…) in the western sky towards E-Town…have yet to verify w/ any of my relatives/friends there, but radar is showing a mess there??!
L Brian goode at wave 3 said the forecast is still on track.
The heaviest snowfall Will fall In Louisville Between midnight and 5am.
everybody stay calm we are going to get some snow.
It is now sleeting on the Lincoln/Pulaski County line.
22 degrees–more snow than sleet now in Lawrenceburg. Liking the look of the radar coming up the I-64 corridor overnight!
Atleast the freezing rain threat is over in frankfort, a sleet/ snow mix at the moment temp down to 21!
Not to far from the teens and some warm air aloft still around, crazy??
I’ve seen freezing rain at 14 degrees (back in January of 1994)
Snowing good now, hopefully the upper level cold has won the battle this time?
heavy sleet here in the brodhead area of rockcastle. Went from rain to sleet fairly quickly, only a brief period of freezing rain.
Forecast is still on track! (Click my name to see mine)
Check out the ntnl radar, it’s impressive! I would be surprised if someone doesn’t pick up 9″+ after this is done.
Really like your site! Thanks for keeping it updated!
I think they might as well call schools tonight. It’s not like things are going to improve through the night. Geeze!
28 degrees sleet/snow combo St. Albans, WV
The problem is, it just keeps sleeting!! Who knows how long that will continue…….I wish it would just change to snow already…..if it doesn’t …….we will have a 4 inch sleet storm with maybe an inch of snow on top of that.
No kidding…I am in Bardstown, been having heavy sleet for about 2 hrs. now….I went out and wrote our local fave saying “BOTS!” (“Bring On The Snow!”) on the porch when I let the dogs out…sleet about 1/3-1/4″ then….dogs came right in, you can barely see where I wrote that NOW??! We are getting SLAMMED and it is lightning towards E-Town…no thunder, tho…yet…
Looks like the sleet is giving way to all snow here in NW Lexington… Marehaven off of Alexandria and Leestown Road(s)!!!
Woohooo snow! A March snow that hangs around for a few days will be legen… wait for it… dary!!!!
A dry powdery snow, so when the march sun hits it melting will happen fast! But it is still fun to get a decent snow a couple weeks away from spring!
Now who is ready for Kenneland??
0.7″ snow/sleet accumulation in Valley Station…all snow now with moderate to heavy bands encroaching on the area. I still think at least 3-4″ for my area but heavier amounts just south and east possible.
All snow now in greenup
Aside from the regional radar, is the precip in Oklahoma going to come through here as well? It looks like it’s completely separated from the main storm.
Yep, Mark….it’s the ‘deformation zone”…..it’s headed in our direction…
GFS does look like it tracks that moisture across S Central Kentucky, though it fades a bit on it’s way here. That batch of snow should be the last to move out early this afternoon.
Still 45 degrees with rain here in Middlesboro. Almost always being the warm spot in the state does have its benefits.
The nam trended a tad north
its a bit late in the ballgame to worry about models don’t ya think?
Just stating facts
North, ok look at radar, everything is dropping south??
The radar to the west of frankfort is showing a quick slide to the south east, no way we get near 6-8 inches in frankfort, maybe some lucky folks south of us will, but the cold air is pushing this moisture out faster than predicted, look at a national radar and you can clearly see this trend!
I agree with you Todd…….We could be totally wrong, but I just get that vibe looking at the radar.
Been heavy sleet in the Scott Depot WV area for 4 hours now. It has just turned to snow. Roads treacherous. Daughter wrecked in Huntington WV earlier on way back from Lexington. She ok a bit shaken appears to be minor damage but hard to tell car covered in ice. Everyone please be careful. Stay in if possible.
Glad your Daughter is OK, 18 degrees in Frankfort, KY with the snow blowing around, 2 weeks till spring and we have the coldest snowfall of the winter!
Thanks for the kind words. It has been snowing now for about two hours, but lightly and not amounting to much the sleet was much harder. The cars are iced but doesn’t appear to be too much on tree’s or power lines. take care.
Mark, Praise God that your daughter is okay!! Please keep an eye on her – sometimes problems don’t appear for a day or two. I don’t mean to worry you, but our son was in a wreck two years ago and he was fine the day of and in the bed the next. The doctor said that sometimes the adrenaline keeps the injury from being apparent right after the injury. We will say a prayer for her that she is fine. Our families are our most precious gifts in this world! Please, keep us posted on how she does. Take good care!
More sleet accumulation in Glasgow than I’ve ever seen in my life! My decks are white, and it hasn’t even started snowing yet… just blowing, clicky-on-the-windows sleet. 🙂
We will end up with a couple inches of snow. Somewhere south of Louisville might do a little better. Even if it doesn’t turn out to be a “monster” I will take it.
I was fine tuned into believing that, FINALLY, Louisville was going to entertain the ‘monster snow’. In terms of 6″-8″, we are waaaaaay short. Another snowpocalypse becomes ankle-biter for the ‘ville. The show is south of here….
Finally covered the deck in lewis co.
Going back and forth between freezing rain and sleet, trees and power lines are ice covered and roads are getting very slick!!
Really looking like this is going to become one big problem.So far no snow here yet.A bit of sleet but plenty of freezing rain.Can already see it forming on the bushes and the sidewalk, porch steps, and rails are covered and very slick.Showing 30 degrees on my thermometer.
Freezing rain is steady.Sure hope this changes to snow soon.
Well just in the few minutes since I posted that the sleet is coming harder.Can hear it hitting the windows and looking outside it looks like snow piling up.Just wow.Have never seen sleet pile up that fast.
London just made the switch from freezing rain to sleet.
Reading complaints is always fun 🙂
our electric just came back on. it went off at 11 due to mud slide thanks to all the rain we had earlier.came back on by 115 great job AEP gotta be a new record for us. Thank you God.
Here in SOuthern Breathitt it was just a cold rain until around midnight then a brief probably less than 30 mins. of freezing rain now the sleet is coming down. NWS in Jackson reporting light snow as of 1am so hopefully no more freezing rain.
Pray to God our electric stays on.
Steady rain at a temp of 38 in Harlan County. NWS and CB as well have us anywhere from 2-5 inches of snow with up to half of an inch of ice possible. As a fierce lover of winter, I hope it is the old man’s last stand. Im ready for the pool, grill, flip flops, and my garden. Hope everyone keeps power.
Freezing rain East Laurel County Rough Creek area Temp is at 30 ice hanging from tree limbs and shrubs vehicles completely covered.
Heavy sleet coming down hard now yard and driveway almost covered never seen anything likes this when it comes to sleet and how quick it changed over
I have never seen 400 comments on CB’s post before.
I have no idea what is going on since this blog has not been updated all day
CB’s made a decent number of tweets, though a few less blog updates than normal. I’m sure he’s got his hands plenty full at the station. That being said, there’s quite a bit of information in the 400+ comments posted today…
Additonally, try your local area’s NWS office and tv station weather blogs. There’s hardly a shortage of information out there. Best wishes.
Hey CB…long time listener…first time caller. Thanks for this winters effort and entertainment…if not for laughing at weather debates on this site and incessant complaining on the Fayette Co Schools Facebook Page, I dont know if Id have made it. As others have said….400+ comments…thats gotta be some kinda milestone huh? Keep up the good work and I’ll keep telling my father-in-law why I prefer you over the other guys. To all the other amateur forecasters out there who regularly post, thank you all, Ive enjoyed your insights and spirited debates this winter. I hope we all stay safe this spring. TBinLexKy
We are Iced over in Pikeville,got up to look out all white but I believe It is all Ice maybe some snow starting.
Streets in London KY and outlying roads have about 1/2 inch of slushy ice and are slick and hazardous stay home if you can going to get a lot worse.
Safe to say I’ll not be making my dental appointment tomorrow!
Tried to stay awake for the chance of lightning sleet but it just isn’t going to happen. Berea Dome held off the freezing rain and limited sleet to around 1/4″. Let’s see what it can do to the snow totals overnight.
420 + comments. congrats CB. Been following since 08. This has to be a blog record. Harlan county now at 35 with steady rain. Congrats again. you and the blog deserve it.
S. Lawrence Co. At least 5-6 in., already plus whiteout conditions with the wind…incredible! Snow falling moderate to heavy in bursts…23 degrees.
