Intensity has picked up a bit... Still light snow due to small flake size but it is sticking to untreated surfaces. Everything is plenty cold!

...LIGHT ACCUMULATING SNOW THIS AFTERNOON...

Light accumulating snow, mainly an inch or less, is expected this
afternoon through early evening. Cold ground temperatures will
allow for accumulation on untreated surfaces and roadways. Slick
conditions and snow covered roads will be possible through early
evening, even with light amounts.

Commuters should prepare for longer than normal travel times, and
are urged to slow down and increase following distance. Slippery
spots should be expected to linger even after the snow ends,
especially on secondary and lesser traveled roads.

Finally seeing small flakes in West Chester.

Gonna take a major push to get 1 to 2 inches here.
Light dusting at the moment.

Light snow in Lebanon.

Driveway almost covered now... salt truck salted the street already.

Light snow here - roads and cars getting covered. Temp 19.

Light fine snow is picking up here is Westwood as the gray sidewalks are getting a more white to them. Pretty sad that it has come to this getting excited seeing the sidewalks turning white!

Coating here - hearing about Lexington getting blasted. Always the bridesmaid... Lol.

Four dozen flakes reported in Oxtown. That is all.

Saw video of massive pileup on I-64 between Winchester and Mt Sterling (east of LEX).

Light but steady snowfall out here in the Eastgate area atm. I'm just seeing a heavy dusting so far. I spoke to one of the supervisors in the field about an hour ago & he's been sitting at a standstill on I75 for over 2 hours between Richmond & Mount Vernon. He guesstimated about 4 1/2 inches fell already.

Central Kentucky has been kicking CVGLAND's butt in the bigger snows department, for the last 10 years or so

Big time! Gotta head south to get the big snows I guess.

Reporting a full 1/8"

A nice steady light snow right now... "heaviest" of the event currently. Wonder if I can get 1/4" to 1/2" out of the deal?

19 now at CVG and here. My high was 23 set back around midnight. Been in the teens to around 20 ever since. Lows of 5 to 10 tonight expected if skies clear out. For those in our far south and SE... if you get an inch plus on the ground and can clear out maybe closer to zero? Central KY will easily get down to zero tonight with their deep snow pack.

Looks like the storm has pivoted now so snow will begin to end as time goes on from NW to SE. Back edge currently located over SE IN so for us in the Metro enjoy... it's not going to last too much longer. Should be done for all AV posters by this evening.

It hurts we missed out on this one but it really hurts that the next system is rain

Brother in law sent this from Washington County Kentucky, slightly SW of Lexington.

Maybe 3/4 of an inch so far.

So far….

From my doorbell cam

Nice pics all! It's wrapping up here. 1/2 to 3/4" here for my final total. As of 5pm, CVG picked up 0.6".
