here's the newest info, won't have another update till 5-6 in the morning coming out.

looks lexington might at best get a dusting, although i doubt it personally. this storms track is just too far north. I also don't have too much faith in the extreme east ky getting much snow. pike county might get up to an inch or so. Right now the biggest snows will be found along the ohio river, with even larger amounts about 50 miles north of there. Up to 5 inches could be expected.

This is an "Alberta Clipper", but is way far south compared to normal. Had this happened in mid January, without the cold front blocking out the moisture from the gulf (which is located in the south of Florida).... this would have created 6-10 inches state wide. This pattern though will continue for a while. Temps may change, but this winter will be as Chris Bailey says, Clipper Mania. La Nina has set in in the east Pacific, and this will be an interesting winter. Typically we find that in La Nina cycles, less frequent snows, but better quality storms. And with the current cycle of early NorEasters, strong alberta clippers, etc.. Its goin to be a tough season to predict, but a very interesting scenario to watch.

Keep an eye out though on about 12-15 days out. We'll either get a nice rain, or a nice snow. It looks to be a very wet event either way.
