Here&#8217;s a recap:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Our day starts with the potential for some slick spots on area roads, but the main action won&#8217;t arrive until this afternoon and evening.<\/li>\n<li>Temps spike ahead of the precipitation moving in, with eastern Kentucky hitting 40.<\/li>\n<li>A mix of rain and snow quickly develops with a rapid switch to light snow across the west and central parts of the state. That switch waits a little longer in the east.<\/li>\n<li>A period of light to moderate snow then sweeps across the state, leaving behind light accumulations into Christmas morning.<\/li>\n<li>With wet roads and temps crashing quickly through the 20s, icy roads are likely to develop Christmas Eve.<\/li>\n<li>How much snow will actually fall?

There may be some pockets of lower and higher amounts showing up within all that.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not a lot of snow, but it can cause some big travel issues after dark.<\/p>\n<p>Flurries carry us into Christmas Morning, with a very cold day taking shape.
