Finally...A Winter Storm For Us

WINTER STORM WARNING
Click for details.

UPDATE @ 10:15 am 2/12

So far the votes for less than 1" have the lead. Officially we received 1.8" of snow overnight with 1/3" of ICE. Admittedly, the sleet and freezing rain came in earlier than expected which put us on the lower of the forecast range for snowfall totals.

THE REST OF TODAY
The Winter Storm Warning will go on for most of the day, however we will switch over to Plain Rain near noon. However, don't let your guard down. Sleet and Snow will come back for the evening. We may pick up another 1" or so before it's all wrapped up.








HERE'S WATCHING YOU


As you can see, the ice is the dominant precipitation type this morning. We can expect another .25 inches of ice to accumulate through noon today.



TIMING IS EVERYTHING


UPDATED 10:30PM Monday Night 2/11


Snow should be heavy overnight. Where the sleet mixes in, it will keep the overall snowfall totoals down. We will see a change over to sleet and freezing rain, although a narrow band of heavy precip should set up near or just north of the Ohio river. Don't be suprised to hear some thunder as this happens. Thunder during a snow storm can produce 1 to 2 inches of snow in an hour.


Most everyone will see 2"-4" by morning except where that heavy band sets up. They get all the glory.


Alvin and I have put together a detailed timeline of how we see this storm unfolding. Take a look:




  • 5pm - 6pm: Snow will start to move in

  • 11pm - 3am: Periods of Heavy Snow Bands will move through

  • 3am-10am: Sleet, Snow and Freezing Rain. Heavy. Thunder Possible

2"-4" of Snow will accumulate by Rush Hour Tuesday. Up to 1" of Sleet will accompany the snow.



  • 10am-7pm: Sleet and Freezing Rain change to Rain

  • Some will melt as the rain moves in


Additional INCH of Snow & Sleet 1/4" ICE ACCUMULATION



  • 7pm-midnight: Snow showers



We'll be watching the storm and giving updates through Tuesday...as well as WATCHING WHAT COULD BE A REPEAT PERFROMANCE FOR THE WEEKEND!Check back frequently for updates and be sure to REFRESH the page when you return.

I'm voting 1-3 inches, Eiter way
that will be more than Koester's wife usually gets.

Can this website forecast when Kentucky folks will learn how to drive in the snow?

We got 2 inches in Florence. Great job...

Don't say 6 inches and only give 3. Koester's wife has been hearing that for years.

sometimes 10-16" inches turns into 1.8 inches. I feel so sorry for the weathermans wife. At least he has not resorted to using any Michigan Wolverines football helmet extensions.

The Crappy Crappie man can't fish, The Weather Man can't tell the weather. This site is a joke.

What a big disappointment. Now we all know what it's like to be Crappie Man's wife. Weatherman, you owe me $40 for the 2 sleds I bought last night.

The Weather Man said...

Everyone relax a little. Don't sell you sleds just yet. There's more on the horizon. Please tell Anita I'm sorry...for many reasons.
