Happy Wednesday to one and all. We have a touch of winter out there today, but that’s nothing compared to what was going on 20 years ago today. The “Storm Of The Century” was raging across the eastern half of the country. We’ll take a walk down memory lane in a moment.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with a few headlines on the current weather…<\/p>\n

– Snow showers and flurries will be noted across the state today. A rooftop duster is possible for a few area. Temps will only reach the low and middle 30s. That’s 20 degrees below normal.<\/p>\n

– A system will dive in from northwest to southeast Thursday evening and that may bring a swath of light rain and snow across central and eastern Kentucky.<\/p>\n

– Unsettled weather is in store for the weekend as a cold front stalls out across our region. That will lead to periodic showers and a big north-south temp spread.<\/p>\n

– Another storm system will roll into the area early next week with rain to begin and the possibility of snow to end.<\/p>\n

The Superstorm of 1993 was one for the record books. March 12-14, delivered one of the most potent storms to ever strike the United States. Some of the highlights: 100mph winds, a storm surge and tornadoes in Florida… 5″ of snow in the Florida Panhandle and a shutdown blizzard from Alabama to New England. This<\/p>\n

I found some cool images from that storm for you guys. Check em out\u2026<\/p>\n
