A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for southern Indiana and western Kentucky for the second time in a week. Another snowy system is expected to approach into the Tristate area, days after Winter Storm Blair delivered snow, sleet, and significant volumes of freezing rain. Regarding the hurricane, there is both good and terrible news.
First, let’s rejoice at the fantastic news. There won’t be any freezing rain with this cyclone because we are dealing with extremely cold Arctic temperatures. Blair’s freezing rain last week devastated portions of the Tristate and left hundreds of our local households without power.
The awful news now. We will probably get more snow from this system than Blair did. These are the most recent snow forecasts.
