7 days straight Monday to Monday
Here in Bowling Green its dangerous to even be alive.. this is probably the worst I seen in 42 years. I expect to lose power any minute
Just lost power close by. It’s currently 29F
Must be nice. How did a Cat fan end up in Phoenix?You guys Becareful and dress warm if your going out. It has already started in Phoenix. It is 50 degrees and I see 4 clouds in the sky.Seriously be safe.
I'm about 15 miles NE of downtown Cincinnati. Just saw on a precipitation tracking web site that we've gotten 7 inches so far.
^ 5 miles east of CVG & we have 5". Still snowing but not all that hard. I think the area of max snow has moved north from us.
I remember a snow storm in Lexington back in the around 1990 where it was thundering, lightning and snowing like crazy. The snow looked blue when it lightninged. It was wild.
Here in Pike county we dodged the bullet, got about 1.5 inches of snow before the light rain started. It's a mess outside but not a disaster.
And electricity is now out probably wont get it back on 2day.
We're around 6" but not doing much at the moment. Say it will start back up later. I shoveled when it was at 5". After that, it's nap time.
About 15 inches so far in central Ohio and still coming down as hard as ever
1993-4. "Thundersnow" and I was out in it, lol.

That’s an insane low. I was living in Benton during that. Side note, I think the recording high is in Greensburg. Idk the year, 1930 maybe.
My neighbor next door measured 10 inches of snow/sleet in his driveway this morning. Snow still coming down.
About 4-5 inches down this way with a .25 inch of ice. Roads are very treacherous. Meanwhile, lots of bosses down this way are saying report to work.
Even though a snow plow went off the road. Just remember folks, your job ain't worth your life.

Here near CVG we ended up with 7-8". Not impressive. Multiple times last night when I went out to check, the snow just felt too wet and fine.
Finally got electricity again since 7 am. Im 10 miles north of Bowling Green and spent all day running cords for generator. Ugly in thus part of the world but February and daylight is almost here.. Go Cats!! Been a tough week guys.
About a foot if know now up in NY. Just used my EGO snowblower for the first time. So nice not having to try and start a gas blower in this cold, get gas, maintenance, etc
Getting another foot probably until mid afternoon tomorrow. Skinning friday but might try and play hooky from work and get up another day sooner.

I’m about 45 miles northeast of BG. We didn’t get to what you did. About 2.5” of snow and maybe .20 ice. Several without power around though. We haven’t lost it yet thankfully. Feel bad for those that do and don’t have an alternate heat source.
That was when my friend first moved here. August 93.
He was at a holiday work party postponed until Jan at a local hotel off Harrodsburg Rd. The whole party was dressed up wearing suits and dresses. They went outside for some reason (probably a smoke), and people slid across the parking lot helplessly just trying to stay upright. The entire company he worked for was in Lexington including people from Louisville. Snow started falling before the party was over. Everyone heading to Louisville was stopped by state police and told to go back to Lexington. 64 was shut down.
He said 8-10 people stayed at his place for nearly a week before they could get back home. Everybody got sick, but they had power and heat the entire time. Even after hearing about that, I moved here not long after. Ww were just talking about this the other day.

I don’t even think we got a foot in Bullitt County. Very thin layer of ice that made shoveling a little tougher. But from the damn news and media, I certainly expected much worse.
Great story. I was outside early in the morning before sunup and it was very dark, started thundering, ligthing and snowing and the snow lite up blue with the lightning struck. Richmond road area.
That’s weird. I live in Andover, and didn’t hear any thunder. However, I didn’t get up until 7:30.
I'm not going to play your game. It was the early 90's I was on Man O War headed to Richmond Road. and will never, ever forget it as it was the coolest thing I've seen from mother nature. See ya never.
Chill out man. I thought you were talking about yesterday. Jesus. What’s your problem?
Boss FINALLY said we could work remote tomorrow. Which is good because it took an HOUR for me to clean off my car. And I'm practically stuck in my drive way by a frozen 3 inch drift. It's gonna take forever to get that clear because we got just enough sun for about an hour to melt part of it to solid ice.
Took the salamander heater and melted ice off cars all afternoon. Electric was out for 9 hours and got to see the games were my 10 ticket pulled 150. In others words god gave me **** and I made shew pie.... but it helps to have kerosene heaters and generators people. Tornados, Ice storms, and 4month droughts. Ive had 7 different types of hell weather last few years.
Pretty much all non essentials are shut down here I think. It's going to be at home most of the week looks like.
