Ice and De-ice













Good morning, Somerset KY. A little souvenir left over from yesterday's overachieving ice event. You received 0.2 - 0.25" ice accumulations, a common amount for several areas of south-central KY. Things look to improve dramatically today. Still, beware of leftover moisture on the ground that is likely frozen this morning.

Even here in Louisville, black ice looks to be an issue on some untreated subdivision roads, like my street.  Thanks to barely any snowfall, temperatures should rebound above the freezing mark for many locations across Kentucky, except the usual cold spots of far northern Kentucky and elevated parts of eastern Kentucky.

A nice warmup is in store starting tomorrow and should last into parts of Wednesday before we get slapped with another backhand of Ole Man Winter's dry, cracked, and calloused knuckles.

Here's your next teaser. From the CPC, an updated page from yesterday shows the 6-14 day outlook that features below normal temperatures for all of Kentucky and above normal precipitation for parts of the state, roughly from I-71 and I-75 corridor east including all of eastern KY. Well, you figure it out. Probably means nothing, though.
