insane what a difference 10 miles makes in the weather here, alot of backup has arrived to help restore power.

Yep, I drove up from TN yesterday afternoon. From Knoxville to LaFollette,  mostly bare ground. Jellico Mountain was covered with snow and ice. From Jellico to about a couple  miles south of Corbin it was mostly bare it looked. Snow and ice zone grew thicker between London and Corbin. 

Overall, above average winter here in Laurel County/London.  We had the Christmas storm, last night's event (3-4" area wide), the ice storm and numerous ankle biter snows, including one about a week after Thanksgiving.  

We need the thaw so work crews can get out and repair downed lines in the region, still lots without power as I write this.  Would not mind another snow to track in March, but by late March I'm well into spring mode.

Alot of ice was around today, alot of snow tommorow. But we all know it's coming

I’ll be ready for spring in a couple of weeks. Had to take our son back to Camp Lejeune on Tuesday. The marshes near the coast were alive with spring peepers.

Huge bust on forcasted temps, and I'm loving it

Hoping we can bust on forecasted high temperatures tomorrow. I’d like to keep a decent snow pack until the big thaw that starts on Sunday 

Steady, moderate snow in Laurel County, KY. Hope to get some of that intense banding in here

Just a few flurries here, but I consider that progress

Nothing here. Completely amazed. Areas over in Pulaski county are getting pasted. 

Virga storm here 

Cold air stubborn here in the London, KY area. Still sitting at 23 degrees with thickening cloud cover. Unless things change rapidly, the 32 forecasted by JKL through mid afternoon could bust.  We have a thick layer of ice and 1-2” of snow on top. 
 

still many without power after the last storm 

Hope nobody is traveling into KY tonight. 
I-75 closed both directions in Rockcastle County, KY. KSP reporting roads are becoming ice covered 

Ice accumulating noticeably on power lines and trees in Laurel county , KY. My driveway and sidewalk a sheet of ice and the grass is even getting slick.

That would be a terrible outcome for the London/Corbin area. I keep hoping for a bit of colder air to turn this into more sleet or snow, but we are running out of time

I’ll take snowfall run of the GFS. Ice no thanks. 
WKYT’s Chris Bailey mentioned the NAM shifted a bit west

Shutdown ice storm for our neck of the woods. 

WS Watches being issues for PAH and JKL. 

JKL forecast most of eastern KY with 3-5 inches of snow/sleet, with .5 inch ice.

Dang..

London and Corbin right on the edge of the heaviest ice 

Normally I would laugh at the EURO snowfall map. However, given everything that's happened in the last year, and frankly , it would not surprise me.

London north and more so east, usually do really well on those. I was shocked to actually cash in on a couple decent streamers yesterday. How much more did you pick up? 

Right at an inch. Some of the heavier showers really set up in eastern Laurel and Clay counties 

4 plus inches here in London. Off and on snow showers. This is the most snow I’ve seen on Christmas in my lifetime

about 2 inches

Maybe we get bonus snow from the snow showers moving through

How much do you have in Corbin?

Road conditions are terrible on the KY side of the plateau. I-75, I-64, Hal Rogers Parkway and Mountain Parkway are treacherous. Combination of heavy snow and flash freeze has really made things a mess up here. 

JKL upgraded Laurel, Whitley and Jackson Counties to a Winter Storm Warning. Additional snow accumulations up to 2”

I’m a middle aged dude but stuff likes this makes me young again!

Closing in on 2” or better here in London/Laurel County, KY.  Looks like additional accumulations will be dependent on the northwest flow ushering in snow showers, squalls. Think we can get up to 3, “ with scattered 4” totals. 
 
very pleased with the outcome. No complaints here.

20z HRRR upping totals again. 

Any maps?  I’m getting greedy here in KY
