1/28 - 9:30pm - Power is Back!

Our power was restored early this morning, so I'm back online for the day.

The snow is falling hard out there, with temperatures dropping rapidly. We were at 31 about a half hour ago and now we're at 28. This is around the temperature for a flash freeze, so any standing water left over from last night will freeze. The ice from overnight has the trees looking sickly and many without power. 75,000 LG&E customers are without power right now with 125,000 KU customers without power as well.

I just took a look at the TRIMARC cameras around the area and the interstates look snow and ice covered. They're passable, but not good at this point. I would recommend staying home if at all possible. There have been just under 100 accidents on the roads since midnight.

I think everyone will end up with 2-4" of snow as forecast. The tale-end of this system is approaching the area, but I think we have up to an hour more of heavy snow. After the heavy snow ends, we're done with this storm.
