Kentucky

Per always, on the edge here. Hoping for more snow or sleet, anything to reduce the ice accumulation.

Does Pivitol take away freezing rain and sleet from the snow totals? Is that clown map for snow all snow?

I see the interstate is closed in your area or just south of you for black ice. 

Looks like north and south of me. Freezing fog/drizzle, it was really coming down.

JKL putting snow on the board now 2-4"

That's a change, also the .50 of ice with the snow, sounds well...not ideal for maintaining power.

...Freezing Drizzle Is Possible Late Tonight Into Saturday
Night...

Drizzle and freezing drizzle are expected to develop northwestward
out of Tennessee and Virginia tonight and Saturday and effect
portions of eastern and south central Kentucky. Temperatures will
determine whether or not the drizzle freezes as it falls.
Subfreezing readings are expected in most places tonight into
Saturday morning, but are forecast to rise just above freezing in
most places during the day on Saturday, before falling back below
freezing in most places on Saturday night as precipitation tapers
off. Precipitation amounts should be very light, but could be
enough to create slick conditions on untreated surfaces.

You know the world's fouled up when Kentucky beats up Tennessee in football and Tennessee beats up Kentucky in basketball.

ha ha, my thoughts exactly 

For once, the warm nose would be much appreciated. 

Barnes owns Calipari, Tennessee has won 3 of the last 4 games in Rupp Arena and 6 of the last 9 overall vs Kentucky.

.7" ice accumulations in portions of eastern Kentucky through 153.

JKL usually isn't that bullish for NW flow here in Corbin, and for good reason. We shall see how this plays out

Snow in London, down to 40 now in Corbin and a dewpoint of 27.

43 in Corbin, need this to system to slow down but it's actually speeding up.

33 with Flakes finally falling in Corbin, dry air and marginal temps won for most of the afternoon.
