Coldest Day in KY History

[UK82]

31 years ago (recorded history) on January 19, 1994. Shelbyville holds a Kentucky record for coldest temperature of 37 below. Louisville recorded their record low the same day, 22 below. I remember it well. Hell of a difference for only 30 miles away. Zero degrees tonight seems like a piece of cake. Keep those faucets dripping.

I think Lexington dipped down to 60.

I remember being at UK. Those were very cold winters in those years. But even that seems hard to believe. I remember crazy ice storms and lots of snow, so much that the piles at the stadium were huge. Some buddies got a jeep stuck on one trying to climb it. An old guy passing by pulled them off with his log chain.

Dripping faucets is very good advice.

Coldest temp in NKy at CVG airport - 5 miles from us - was -25F on Jan. 18, 1977. Do remember.

Right now we're at -1F.

I remember that year quite well. Ohio River froze.
