Well, Kentucky's winter storm is still ongoing but winding down for many. Lots of double-digit snowfall amounts have been received, especially from central into eastern parts of the state.
Jackson KY surpasses the January 1996 snowstorm and eventual blizzard for 2-day snowfall record at 16.2". Remember, the January 1996 blizzard kept showing up in top analogs for this storm system. The awesome 1993 storm of March was the only other time period that outshone this current event. Records date back to 1981.
I have read amounts of 18-19". Wow! Some parts of far eastern Kentucky may still get additional accumulations adding to some who already have double-digit totals.
Bowling Green's 12.2" yesterday obviously set a daily record, but also goes into the record books as the 3rd snowiest day ever for any month and the snowiest January day on record. In addition, the monthly total of 14.8" now ranks as the 6th snowiest month of January.
A massive traffic snarl on I-75 stranded thousands for a time after a series of crashes led to both sides of the interstate to be closed.
Also, power outages became issues for some residents in Knox, Whitley, and Pulaski counties. Each of their electric cooperatives were working to restore power to these residents still as of early this morning.
