  • Those south of the line should be preparing for power outages or interruptions. Road and travel conditions may be extremely hazardous due to ice accumulation.

  • The NWS-Louisville office has scheduled a conference call for 3 pm tomorrow about the storm. 

  • I'll start a new thread tomorrow when I make my first call for snow.

Car covers were one of the best purchases I’ve ever made LOL.

I agree. I love mine. It only takes about two minutes to put on and saves me a lot of time in the morning.

That was one of the toughest snows to shovel. It's made me completely reevaluate buying a snow blower.  

 

I never took an accurate measure on the amount, but if I were to guess, I'd say just north of 9" in Southern Campbell County. 

 

It was amazing to me that we got into the ice line despite having 12-14°F temperatures throughout the duration of the storm. I'm happy this one is behind us.

I learned a new term. This was caused by a "Warm Toe". A narrow band of warm air aloft that extends into cold air above the surface. It changes snow into sleet and then freezing rain.

I was wondering, any idea how high up that warm air was? Just wondering if we were talking 2,000 feet AGL or like 10,000 to 20,000 feet.

Well, today is Monday and usually you’re able to give us some kind of idea 48 hours in advance of possible snow. I’m hearing something is gonna fall from the sky on Wednesday as well. Any clue?

From what I've learned. It is around 850 mb level, which is around 5,000 feet.

Timing is hard this far out, but I'm watching to see if a low-pressure system will form round the Oklahoma/Texas area and move towards the gulf. It is forecast to move up the east coast. If it hugs the coast, it could become a bomb cyclone and cause possible blizzard conditions in New England. If the track moves northward, it will affect Kentucky more. It still could throw some snow our way. 

The timing is going back and forth. It was showing Wednesday, Then Thursday. Now it is Friday but we know things will change.

This could be the result of the system if it forms. This is not to be considered a forecast.

At least in my tiny little space in KY, that map nails it. 

We were lucky in Owsley County. Most of the freezing rain stayed just to the south of us and we had a few inches of snow that was later packed down with sleet and only a thin layer of freezing rain. Immediately to our south in Perry, Clay and Laurel Counties they received mostly freezing rain on top of an inch or so of snow. Our county area lost about 7% of its power but Clay and Laurel lost between 40-50%.
