@nWo, I am good with the 3-5 inches in the Louisville area. I have all errands completed and don’t have to go anywhere this weekend. @Run To State will be shocked, but...bring on the snow! (But keep away the frigid cold, please and thank you!)

This may not mean much but today is the first day we have turned our heat system on this winter. I had extra insulation installed in our attic and over our garage. We put rolls in then a company came in and blew more insulation on top of that.

 

So winter is coming!!! :thumb:

 

Wow

It had begun.

 

Started in NKY around 0200. Bad in spots, 275 is covered, but 75 was fine.

Just looked out the window...approaching 2" here in St. Matthews.

Looks like we got around a 1" here in Richmond.

Those in the Cincinnati/NKY area will get a second round of snow on Sunday.

nWo, you are the only one I rely on for true weather predictions. We are blessed to have you do this for us on BGP.

 

Thanks, looks like now Cleveland will get around 2" of snow before it ends. The snowfield has moved a little more northward.

Yep. I never pay attention to winter weather forecasts until the day/night before. Even then, it can change so much during the event. You could get a foot of snow in Louisville and none in E-town.

 

I used to think like that. Sometimes waiting will get you into a difficult situation. That's what happened to me in 2009 when the ice storm hit Richmond. My wife had surgery that day and I didn't pay attention to the weather. We lost power 30 minutes after we got home. It was out for six days. I had to scramble and try to find some kind of heat source and I wasn't able to get something. So I had to get a hotel room then we came home and for a couple of days we had no heat before we got power restored. I swore that would never happen to me again. I couldn't even find a kerosene heater in Kentucky or surrounding states. I finally got one out of Atlanta because that was where my daughter was living at the time. It was the very last one they had. I swore to myself I would never get caught like that again. So that started me on the journey to learn more and more about the weather.

 

I know have two kerosene heaters and installed more insulation than needed in our attic. I always make sure we stock up with essentials a few days before any weather event. It may be overreach but I would much rather be safe than sorry.

I was speaking to the idea of wanting to know exactly how much “weather” you’re going to get several days out. Obviously, it’s good to be aware of an approaching system, but putting any stock into predictions more than 24 hours out is a waste of time, IMO. That’s plenty of time to prepare.

Crews have already stopped salting in Louisville. Main roads are just wet, some side roads still have some slush.

Around 2 + inches here in Winchester.

Louisville also may get in on the second round tomorrow.

Looks like maybe 2 inches in NKY at this point.

I would say 2 to 3 for me but it is so warm it is melting away.

Another disappointing winter weather event. We just simply don't get decent snow storms in NKY anymore. Just warm, wet, muddy winters.
