Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog! I would like to tell each and everyone of you reading this that I am sorry for having such a bad handle on today's snow chances. I have had so much going on with college and personal things this week that I haven't had much time for anything lately. The past few nights I've been staying up late several hours so I can give you rapid updates and honestly it's taken a huge toll on me each day only getting a few hours of sleep before class time.
Anyways this post is to tell you why we haven't gotten any snow this winter. If you really want the honest answer then this is for you, but before I tell you I just want to warn you that this may seem like a smart aleck answer but I do not mean it to be in any way. Anyways the answer why we haven't seen any snow is because none the of systems have played out to our advantage or moved in our direction. There I said it. Winter weather is the hardest form of weather to predict little on track. Radars have such a hard time picking up on the difference between rain and snow as snow is smaller than rain and is much harder to pick up on radar. That hints why several times I've told you this winter that the radar may say it isn't snowing when it actually is.
Another thing I wanted to talk to you about is I know alot of you is frustrated and impatient with me as I'm "getting everything wrong" this winter. Well look at it this way, I'm no pro and far from it and another thing I haven't been wrong every time. Just if you knew how much the weather changes. ;)
Anyone can look up the weather off the weather channels website and relay it to you. I don't do that, I post pictures of computer models breaking them down so you can understand them. That puts a fine line between me and other forecasters.
I may not be right every time but I do take time out my busy life to better help you. I am man enough to admit that yes sometimes I am wrong and because of that it fuels me to better my studies and understanding of the weather and how it happens. I will continue to serve all of you in the entire southern Kentucky area and inform you of dangerous weather situations.
I want to end on this, if you think I have a bad handle on the weather right now imagine how bad I was 3 years ago first starting out. Honestly I was wrong at least every 7 out of 10 times. I've made too much progress to slow down now. The only way to go from here is up!
Have a great evening everyone and take care! :)

Thursday Snows!
Good very early morning everyone and welcome to the blog. This is a full update on the next winter weather system to affect our area. This storm looks to move in tomorrow and will probably start off as a mix before the coller air aloft sets in late in the evening hours.
Models still are in a disagreement mode and honestly I have expected them to be like this at least until the late runs come out in the next hour or so. This will fine tune everything on when and where the snows falls and how much. Somewhere during the noon hour I should have a much better understanding on all of that good stuff but until then, bare with me. ;)
Okay folks we'll be seeing a sharp cutoff of snow. Within 10 or 15 miles you can go from snow to no snow at all. This is going to be a tricky one to forecast so I decided to not put a first call for snowfall map up yet, but take a look at my Snow Threat Map on my facebook page as the blog is not letting me post any pictures at this time which is very frustrating -_-
What snow that does fall will be heavy and will pack and accumulate very easily leading to some slick spots in travel so be carefull there. Since the blog is acting up I will continue to have posts through out the day on my facebook tomorrow. I may give another shot at a blog post later on in the day between classes around 1pm. Have a great night and morning everyone and be safe! :)

January Warm Up!
Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog on this Monday night. We have a warm up that is already underway. You may not notice much of a difference now but by Thursday I'm positive that you will ;)
This warm up will feature high temperatures into the 60s at some point this week. Here's a look at the 7 day forecast starting tomorrow:
Tuesday, We'll see sunny skies with a high temperature around 56 degrees with a nice south winds of 3-8mph. Wednesday looks good as well with high tempertaures pushing 58 degrees with a slight chance of a shower mainly in the morning hours. Thursday, we have an increase of rain showers at 40% and a high temperature of 61 degrees. Friday we'll have a 20% chance of rain showers and a high temperature of 67 degrees. (some record highs may fall that day) Saturday, we'll have a 30% chance of rain showers with a high of 68 degrees. (record highs may also fall that day as well) Sunday we have a 60% chance of rain with highs near 58. Monday a 20% chance of showers and a high of 46 degrees.
If you notived in the forecast above these warm temperatures WILL NOT last too long at all. actually we'll be going back into a cold and very active storm pattern for the last half of the month into Feb. This is likely to feature a prolonged period of high temperatures struggling to the upper 30s. In addition to that we'll see plenty of storm systems move in here in which may bring our best shot of snows so far this season.
I'll have more updates as needed through out the week. Have a great evening everyone and take care! :)
