The issue here is the rain that could flash freeze prior to the snow falling.

The only way to combat that is to take the risk and salt early.

The problem with that, the salt is not effective below a certain temperature. Once wind chills get below zero (and certainly 20 to 30 below), the salt won't do anything.

Chemicals can be added to the salt to make it work at even lower temperatures but either way being proactive beats being reactive.

I’m not sure how low those work, but the pretreatment could get washed away by the rain if it is heavy enough. I couldn’t see where any ore treatment had taken place yesterday or this morning when I was out and about. Either way, I won’t have any trouble because I’m staying home.

Timing is everything!

Marc Weinberg from WDRB in Louisville (the only guy I'll watch) has 2-4" for pretty much all of Kentucky west of I-75. I'll go with that. 

Weinberg has adjusted his snow totals a bit. Along and north of 64, as far east as 65 (so mainly southern Indiana and Louisville) is in a 3-6" range. Everywhere else is still 2-4".

Just arrived in Bowling Green. Some light showers. Also on I-65 they have pretreated the center lanes with a brine. Didn't notice anything on the other two lanes.

Just checked the various road departments in western Kentucky. They are in various stages of treating roads.

Snow started a little while ago in Louisville. Temp down about 10 degrees the last hour. 

[Kentucky Windage]

Just turned over to snow in Cold Spring, KY. Winds have picked up considerably.

Wife made it home about 45 minutes ago.  She was coming from dinner with friends in Covington. Said it was getting bad out.

Almost a total white out here.
