We&#8217;re a little over a week away from the big day and we are tracking some festive flake producing snow showers across many areas. While this is nice and all, the big question is, can we actually get some real snow for Christmas? The pattern suggests we have a chance as a deep trough dives into our part of the world.<\/p>\n<p>A cold northwest wind is combining with an upper level disturbance to kick off some snow showers and periods of light snow today. This looks to carry us through tonight across parts of central and eastern Kentucky.
