Tuesday/Late Evening

WEATHER CODE: YELLOW ***Blowing and drifting snow possible along with frigid temperatures***



I apologize for the late post. It has been a busy day...

Well the snow did come and it was very heavy at times across the entire region. Most areas ended up with 2-3 inches with isolated areas picking up 4-6 inches with some of the heavier prolonged bands.

For more on how much snowfall fell in your area click HERE for the updated snow totals from the NWS in Indianapolis. If you live in the Louisville's NWS forecast area click HERE for the updated snowfall totals for today.

Due to the very cold temperatures today a very dry fluffy snow fell. Not only did this increase snow ratios, but has caused some considerable blowing and drifting. Highway officials in Jackson County have reported snow drifts as high as 2 feet! Even though winds will calm slightly overnight, blowing and drifting will still be a problem so use extra caution if driving tonight. Temperatures will also bottom out in the single digits and with winds gusting to 15 MPH, wind chills will go below zero! Bundle up if your heading out overnight!

One more cold day for tomorrow with temperatures in the upper teen's and lower 20's across the region. After that a warm up is on the way beginning Thursday. With the warmer temperatures will come the potential for heavy rain later this week into early next week. I will have more on that in tomorrow's post...

Everyone have a great night!
