The bluegrass state is in the deep freeze as light snow and snow showers continue to drop accumulations on the snow and ice we already have. A State Of Emergency continues and local SOE&#8217;s have been declared due to massive power outs and trees down. Now comes our next winter storm from later Wednesday through Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Before we get to that, light snow and snow showers continue to be widespread and may drop another inch in some areas.

If I continue to see less freezing rain, the snow numbers would increase in the southeast.
