Well I asked you guys for some past weather events you wanted to see and I am here to deliver one of them for you. The 1993 &#8220;storm of the century&#8221;! That is an often used phrase in describing such monster storms. I prefer to call it the March Superstorm. March 12-14, 1993 delivered one of the most potent storms to ever strike the United States. <BR><BR>I found some cool images from that storm for you guys. Check em out&#8230;<BR><BR><BR><IMG src=\"http:\/\/images.quickblogcast.com\/0\/4\/8\/0\/3\/139967-130840\/1993_1.jpg\" width=500 border=0><BR><BR><IMG src=\"http:\/\/images.quickblogcast.com\/0\/4\/8\/0\/3\/139967-130840\/1993_2.jpg\" width=500 border=0><BR><BR><IMG src=\"http:\/\/images.quickblogcast.com\/0\/4\/8\/0\/3\/139967-130840\/1993_3.jpg\" width=500 border=0><BR><BR><IMG style=\"WIDTH: 596px; HEIGHT: 500px\" height=471 src=\"http:\/\/images.quickblogcast.com\/0\/4\/8\/0\/3\/139967-130840\/1993_4.jpg\" width=700 border=0><BR><BR>Here in Kentucky&#8230; snowfall totals were impressive to say the least. Locations near Hazard in Perry county reported 30&#8243;. Officially 20&#8243; fell at the NWS in Jackson while London recorded 22&#8243;. The Lexington area recorded around&nbsp;5&#8243;12&#8243; of snow as totals quickly dropped to nothing the farther west we went toward the Ohio River.<BR><BR>Winds of 40mph+ whipped the snow into huge drifts that shut down roads, including I-64 and I 75, for several days. Unfortunatly, 5 people were killed in Kentucky with&nbsp;nearly&nbsp;300&nbsp;total across the eastern US.<BR><BR>Having grown up in eastern Ky&#8230; I remember this storm well. It was an amazing sight to behold and it&#8217;s a storm that may not see it&#8217;s equal anytime soon.<BR><BR>Gotcha in the mood for snow yet? <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/emoticons\/wink.png\" border=\"0\" \/><BR><BR>On a current weather note&#8230; temps will continue to run on the toast side into the coming weekend. Highs will top out in the lower 90s through Saturday with a daily increase in humidity. We will also see a small chance for a shower or storm as early as Friday evening.<BR><BR>Next week will feature a nice cool down early on as a decent trough digs in across the region. This will also up the chances for showers and storms.<BR><BR>I will have another update coming later Thursday. Give me some more historical weather events you would like to blog about and I will see what I can do. <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/emoticons\/wink.png\" border=\"0\" \/><BR><BR>Take care.<BR><BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Thursday everyone!
