We are entering the final phase of our massive winter storm as another round of snow sweeps across Kentucky. This will be falling on several inches of snow and ice from the first two phases of this storm.<\/p>\n<p>We have a lot of power outages across the state with the greatest concentration along and south of Interstate 64. This is the area we highlighted for the greatest ice storm potential and some areas picked up more than .50&#8243; of pure freezing rain. That was falling on top of several inches of snow in many cases.<\/p>\n<p>Winter Storm Warnings remain for much of the area today&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/x-hv1.pivotalweather.com\/maps\/warnings\/nwshaz.us_ov.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The upper low spins through from west to east today as our surface low pushes off to the east.
