For those night owls out there, we felt that you could use an update. Expect the snowfall to re-intensify early Saturday creating additional accumulations. You may even hear a rumble of thunder overnight. Thunder is possible in a snowstorm. Thundersnow is basically a thunderstorm except that you replace the Rain with Snow! If you see it, look outside...it should be a site to see! You can bet that if you hear thunder, you are getting an intense band of snow that is producing an inch to two inches an hour!!!!
I just measured the snowfall outside my house in Florence, KY. We have received 5 inches of snowfall but the wind has created snow drifts. One snow drift that I measured reached over 8 inches. As the snow and the winds pick up on Saturday, you can expect some snow drifts to reach (and in some instances surpass) 2 FEET!!! ~Alvin
Believe it or not, Friday was child's play compared to what's coming today. For the first time in over a decade WE HAVE AN OFFICIAL BLIZZARD!!!!!! READ ON!Be sure to check back often and REFRESH the page when you return for the latest Update!
BLIZZARD WARNING
CLICK HERE TO READ
A BLIZZARD WARNING is already in effect for the Tri-State.
This will be a 2 part storm that lasts from Friday morning until Saturday afternoon. That's the reason we may see significant accumulation. The MAIN EVENT COMES IN FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. That is when we will pick up our heaviest snowfall totals.
TRACKING THE STORM
TIMELINE
NO ACCUMULATIONS BY FRIDAY MORNING RUSH
- 7am-8am: SNOW MOVES IN
- 8am-1pm: SNOW (Heavy At Times)
- 1pm-5pm: ALL SNOW
- 5pm-7am Sat: SNOW (Heavy At Times)
ADDITIONAL 6"-8" BY 7am SATURDAY
- 7am - 7pm: HEAVY SNOW (Especially from Cincy Metro EAST)
- After 7pm: Taper to Snow Showers
TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS ARE 12"-18" (MOST EAST)
We typically wouldn't do a rage this big, but there will be a narrow band of where the HEAVIEST SNOW sets up. My best guess would be the counties on and near I-71. Overnight Friday should look quite impressive outside.
FRIDAY STORM ACCUMULATIONS
SATURDAY ACCUMULATION
FROM FRI 7PM - SAT 7AM!
Then More to come after that!

You know you have a STRONG storm when you have tornados on the south side and this kind of snow on the north.

Am I going to be camping in snow again??
I know, I know...too early to tell...I'll try to be good.
What a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you.
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way.
