Kentucky

Side roads here today are worse than they been thru the entire event. Whitley County came thru yesterday and plowed off the fresh snow that had fallen on top of the pack and spread salt for the first time. The packed snow and ice packed melted slightly but they couldn't plow it off, they tried all afternoon. Then artic air "part duex" arrived refroze it all into even a thicker layer of ICE. 

old school snow event, reminds me of 90's

Pretty rare, but getting some flow snow in Corbin.

Started and stayed mostly mix but picked up additional inch near the end. Had it arrived later, may have by a different story. 

Isn't reaching the ground yet, but looking west...

Warming up fast in Corbin, now 29

I'm not an expert on this, by any means. But is the NAM not initializing with the snowpack in S/SE TN?

Not sure it will matter in the end as @jaxjagman mentioned but found it interesting. 

What a rare old school long duration event.

5 1/2" here just south of Corbin. 

I-75 Exit 25

Light snow in Corbin,

game on folks

Couple of 20 dbz Virga passed overhead in Corbin. But finally getting some decent flurries now. 

21z SREF thru 45 - this is 10:1 ratios

Good luck everyone, it's been a while. I'm more optimistic seeing JKL cave.

How much did you wind up with ? I've been looking at cams and Lexington got hammered. Just eyeballing, it looks like probably .5-6" there with 2 foot drifts

I'd say around an inch, side roads are solid ice underneath from the .10 rain prior. 

Imagine this will be quite the streamer event for Eastern Kentucky.

@Kentucky@Jesse from KY@AnthonyEC How're things going west of the KY/VA line fellas?

Frozen Tundra, solid dusting of snow with good layer ice underneath. 20 degrees now, wind straight ripping.
