[HammerTime]

Crazy!

[nWo]

I finally figured out how to post a snowfall forecast map. Also one for freezing rain. I had to switch them from google maps to gif.

The cities on the southern boarder of this pocket are Hazard, Manchester, London, Somerset and Nancy

 

The storm system seems to have shifted to the east. That is a good sign for less snow.

The only thing I don't like about these maps is I can't zoom in to see what towns and cities are affected. That is how I determined what cities fall into what snowfall area.

Light wintery mix here in Ashland since noon. Temperature is already down to 32 degrees, which is 5-7 degrees cooler than what the local weatherman had forecasted for this time of day.

[Content1]

The protective bubble will not allow any accumulation within the 275 loop in NKY. Beyond that you're sol…

 

All joking aside everyone be safe. Ol Coot Winter is still hanging on, but not by much. Thursday is the official start of spring. In other news baseball fields were dry enough yesterday for knothole games to be played at the Bellevue Vets, the fields off of 71 just south of Columbus were hosting games as well. Always a welcome sign of spring and warmer temps!

[JDEaston]

30 degrees and snowing in Ashland now.. I'm not a meteorologist, but with the changeover to snow coming muchearlier than expected I could see the Ashland area getting 6-8 inches.

[lawildcat]

Just started flurrying south of A-town.

[nWo]

Starting to sleet here in Richmond.

[PurplePride92]
