It seems as though all of the models keeps trending further south. Do we get a correction back to the North at some point?

It's possible but I don't believe so. If anything the snowfield may narrow some. Reason being I see more warm air trying to move in from the south. I think this will cause more of an freezing rain situation for most of Kentucky around and south of I-64. I'll post my first calls later this evening.

[nWo]

FYI for everyone. I received and email from the National Weather Service-Louisville office that they will have two conference calls tomorrow. One in the afternoon and then one in the evening. As long as I've been doing this I don't ever remember them having two conference calls the same day. That maybe another sign that we are in for a historic winter storm.

I know you are not calling anything till this evening, but I know so little about this stuff (which is why I am so grateful for you). I am in Boone Co and the one thing I do not want is for the power to go out for an extended period of time. Does that mean that I hope that warmer air is moving in from the south? Do I want a northern track or a southern track? This just helps me when I read your posts or watch the news.

This is what scares me. Ice is awful. I can get around in snow... I can't in ice. Then the worst part of ice is power issue, IMO. Add that with some of the temps that are coming in behind this storm and it's a recipe for disaster with busted pipes, etc.

It means that there will be a short cut off from where the snow ends and the freezing rain begins. It could be a matter of just a few miles where one would get snow or freezing rain. Boone County looks like it is in the moderate to  major impact areas from this storm.
