Well the storm is starting to wind down a little now. As of 8:00 this morning there are still snow flurries and light showers in the area, and these will persist for much of the morning. Area roads are heavily salted and are mostly in good shape. Secondary streets are icy but passable... just take it slow.
Official reports in the LEX area and in surrounding counties are showing from a Trace to 0.8” of total snowfall, with some drifts in the 2-3” range. The slick conditions are the part to be concerned about, rather than the depth of the snow. This is pretty much exactly what I was expecting. Wind chill temperature this morning is 2°F so bundle up warm before you go out! And as expected, there are many school closings and delays. Should be a nice 4-day weekend for the kids. The forecast worked out pretty good. Now.. if I could just whip up a nice blizzard for us.. ;)
Our attention turns now to an Alberta Clipper style system that will drop in from the northwest later this weekend. This could potentially cause some church cancellations on Sunday morning. I’ll look at some model data later today and try to pin down what our impacts will be from that. For now, send the kids out to enjoy this snow! Mine wants to make snow angels...been waiting for weeks for this opportunity.
Take it slow this morning and be safe.
