Stay Safe Friends!

[Bkocats]

If you’re in the path of this lovely winter storm I hope you stay safe and warm
We’ve already got 4-5 inches of snow out here in Oldham with another heavy band getting ready to come through, after which it will switch to sleet/freezing rain until tonight
I believe after midnight it go back to snow which should be good for another 2-3 inches
71, 265, 264 and 64 are already shut down locally. My work hasn’t called a closure yet, but my sons and my daughter in laws have. Most area schools are closed too, along with churches and other facilities
Unless you absolutely have to get out in this, please don’t go. If you do have to be out, please be oh so careful.

Wife’s work closed tomorrow in western ky, trees are iced over, and it is still raining. Stay safe and warm!

Yeah, I live in Norton Commons. I made it out for 8:30 Mass and by the time I got out of church my car was covered. So I know by 9:30 it was already getting pretty squirrelly out there.

 

[StubbornPenny]

Well over 7 in my area of Lexington. We tried to get out, I was raised in snow like this, but it wasn’t cooperating. Just stay in.

Lotsa upside down pineapples on the porches today?

Not for me but we have a few crazy neighbors LOL.

You learn something new everyday. What a weird symbol to choose.

 

[NociHTTP]

Looking at 7-14" here, but it seems on the lighter side for a named storm. I think they over-hyped this one a bit, but when have the weather stations not done that, lol.

lol no kidding
We’re just waiting for someone to slide into our yard. We live on a curve and people aren’t exactly smart

 

[YardCat]

Glad we won’t get any part of this storm in Memphis. Idiots here can’t drive when it rains! Everyone up North stay safe and warm..

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

Local grocery stores in Central Kentucky have been packed for the last few days. Most folks have heeded the warning and prepared for this. I‘ve already shoveled snow so it won’t be so difficult to remove the next wave of weather coming in later today.

 

[westerncat]

Here in western Ky ( I am about 25 miles north of Madisonville) we are getting a mixage of rain and sleet. They say it is going to change over to all rain by 4pm. If you don't have to get out just stay in .

 

[bnewt]

About 6" here in Shepherdsville with rain now
Not going to work tomorrow

 

[UK Widget]

7 inches or so here in Frankfort. Been a battle between snow and freezing rain the past hour. Might help keep ice totals on the lower end (instead of 0.6-.7, more so .5)

 

[Bkocats]

Got freezing rain coming down now

 

[the nail at the foul line]

 

[BGCATFAN2012]

Nothing but sleet and freezing rain north of Bowling Green about 10 miles. Expected to lose power any moment considering it's a heavy freezing rain. Dog is taking it really hard since he's not been able to run the yard and work his fences.

 

[Ky-troutbum]

We’ve had freezing rain and sleet all day here in Christian Co. some lightning and thunder as well.
Been without electricity for about 2 hours now.

Live in Norton Commons as well. Kids are loving this. Just wish there was a good sledding spot.

Lmao well….

Yeah, when mine was small we drove over to Seneca Park a couple times. There’s nothing really in the neighborhood here but my wife thinks there is a little park back in the Oldham County section of Glen Oaks that has a hill.

Out here in Colorado we regularly get a chuckle when 4-6" of snow and some ice causes apocalyptic chaos in my home state of KY.

I have family on social media today sharing photos of them dancing in snow dust and clamoring for family / friends to run out and stock up on necessities.

Not meaning to offend and I understand the infrastructure there isn't prepared for even the slightest winter storm, nor are people experienced with that kind of weather.

 

[Bkocats]

Well at my house it looks like we got about 9inches of snow total but we’ve had freezing rain and sleet coming down since about 3:30-4. So it’s getting packed down a bit. Concerned about power going out, but good so far
Finally got the text that work is closed tomorrow
Have a feeling it will be Tuesday too

Well, skiing to work would certainly be a different type of morning for me.

That’s really our biggest issue here. The state doesn’t keep us prepared. That and snow events like these are so sporadic.
I’m personally not scared to drive on snow and ice because, frankly, I don’t act like an idiot behind the wheel. However, we do have a disproportionate number of damn fools so it’s safer to stay home

[WallMashKyBall]

In Danville, 8pm, 7 inches of snow is melting under monderate rain/sleet. Some branches are getting ice coated, but it's 32 degrees and may go up to 33 before morning. Not big branch breaking yet, which is the fear, as heavy ice coating can bring down power lines.

Stay safe everybody.

Come on Dude, are you sure you’re not puffing on the old Cheech and Chong and thinking that you’re driving in it, but instead you’re using Door Dash? 😂 just messing with you, my old lady is from Michigan and talks about how people can’t handle a little snow.

 

[bbncal02]

Just checking in on everyone. We got mostly lucky down here, just some slick side streets and some trees down. I called into work tonight just out of precaution. Getting home this Sunday morning was rough enough.

How is everyone else doing?

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Fine here 25 miles east of Nashville, TN.

Hoping everyone in KY is doing OK.

 

[truckbrandon]

The ice is coming down really steady. We have trees drooped to the ground from the weight of the ice. So far, our power has remained on

 

[UKSanders]

Struggling here…today was low 60s and sunny. Tomorrow supposed to be rainy and dropping into the 50s.

We’ll survive though. Thanks for asking. 😜

Hope everyone in KY got to the store to get bread and milk before it ran out.

Seriously though. Hope everyone in KY stays safe & warm

 

[Wildcat_In_Florida]

I just moved from Florida to Northern Kentucky, didn’t know I was trading hurricanes for snow storms. The snow looks beautiful but I got a lot to learn driving in it. Hope everyone is safe out there.

 

[ukcatz12]

I know this is a question for the Kentucky folks, but I’m up near Syracuse for work and a town nearby just got 67 inches of snow over the weekend.

 

[Catfanlou]

We have eight inches on the ground in Prospect with freezing rain coming tonight . Prospect city works doing a great job clearing main roads in subdivisions. We are toasty warm and staying off roads . We will b fine unless the power goes off.

lol no. I don't even comprehend how people deal with that.

 

[bnewt]

South of Louisville, we have 6 or 7 inches, freezing rain
No power for couple of hours, trees snapping and drooping limbs
Don't mind the cold but hate this crap.....too old for it

I’m in Norton Commons on my couch under two big blankets. And that’s where I’m gonna stay.
