January 2009 ArchivesOk, so I let my dog out Saturday night, and heard lots of strange sounds from all the trees - no it wasn't Vanilla Ice's catchy, "Ice, Ice Baby" 1991 hit rap song, the first number one rap single - no, I'm talking about all that real ice falling, and crashing to the ground. I swear every tree was dropping its load, and making all kinds of noise in the backyard. I don't think I've ever heard anything like it! As the lady with the br...
Here's what happened to a car's windshield out driving today, from ice falling from another person's car. We'll continue to dodge daggers of ice...
The potential for big snow is looking lower and lower for Kentuckiana Monday and Tuesday. For those of us without power, and working on the power lines, this should be a good thing! The low-pressure-storm-...
Monday's forecast countinues to be very difficult. The models do not have a very good handle on this one... Yesterday, they had the storm tracking west of the Appalachians, which would give us a nic...
You've probably already heard a lot about the pending storm on Monday. You've also probably heard many ranges of accumulating snowfall. I'm going for a more optimistic approach and trending the amounts down. I guess... A year ago today four tornadoes touched down in Metro Louisville. For more info click here ...Significant Snow Threat For Next Monday...!
The models are trending this winter storm westward with each run, since yesterday evening... Right now I'm thinking we could see Ok, so hopefully you've had a chance to vent your frustration on the "Time To Vent" thread, now let's look at the bright side. How much worse could this storm have been if we didn't have the wind storm? Imagine how many more trees would have come down. Imagine how many old power poles would have fallen due to the weight of the ice. Plus, it's yet another chance to really bond with the family! These are the times when our h... ...ok, so you guys are tough, no one wants to complain! That's fine, I'm a pretty optimistic person myself, but if feel the need to let it out, this thread is still here :) It's cold! The power is out! Another one of my favorite trees is once again knocked down after only five months since the last major disaster! Those news people keep smiling on tv, aren't they as grumpy as me by now! This is your t... The GFS (weather model) has been trying to develop another snow storm for us on Monday, however I question the track of the storm... the 18z run was showing us geting hit with around 3-6 inches of snow... ...
WINTER STORM PRECIPITATION ROUNDUP... THE FOLLOWING ARE SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATION TOTALS REPORTED ACROSS That was one big Winter storm! At least after the wind storm last September, the weather was quiet and very comfortable. Nothing like that this time. So much of the area is still without heat and power and there isn't much help on the way from Mother Nature. Highs stay below freezing over the next few days. It isn't really until next week that we see some warmer conditions. Get used to seeing those power and tree folks! The Martin mansi... From the NWS Louisville... RECORD DAILY MAXIMUM PRECIPITATION SET AT LOUISVILLE KY... LOUISVILLE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT RECORDED 1.64 INCHES OF RAINFALL ON LOUISVILLE ALSO RECORDED 4.1 INCHES OF SNOWFALL ON TUESDAY. THIS The eerie sounds of tree branches breaking and ice shattering throughout Kentuckiana tonight... Getting lots of reports into the newsroom about large tree limbs blocking many roads throughout the region. Officials are asking us not to drive if we don't have too. The roads are getting pretty ugly and if you are heading out please drive safely. ...1238 AM FREEZING RAIN 6 W TAYLORSVILLE 38.03N 85.45W MANY LARGE LIMBS DOWNED IN HICKORY WOODS SUBDIVISION 1204 AM FREEZING RAIN JEFFERSONVILLE 38.30N 85.73W RATE OF ACCUMULATION HA... JOE OSBOURNE (SPELLING?) WITH EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SAYS THE CITY OF BARDSTOWN IS IN A TOTAL BLACKOUT. THAT'S 18,000 TO 20,000 PEOPLE!!!! Fire and rescue has made numerous runs due to transformer fires. Dan from PRP just sent me an email..."I live in the PRP area. The power has gone on and off at least 7 times one lasted 5 minutes." I think we will be hearing about major power outages overnight and probably won't have a good...
Scotty told me that he had about an inch of ice in Clarkson this evening and as his picture shows the added weight...
This is what everyone wants to know, so here you go... As we always say though, these numbers are highly subject to change. We are, as we often are, in the transition zone of snow, to sleet, to freezing rain, ...
An area of low pressure over the Southern Plains will develop and strengthen as it moves towards Kentuckiana on Monday. This... Old Man Winter makes a big comeback this weekend and through next week. We go from highs Friday at 61, 20 degrees above normal, to highs around freezing Saturday through next Tuesday! We'll combine the cold with moisture for a good chance of snow, and possibly sleet and freezing rain Monday night through Tuesday. The snow/freezing rain line will be right over the area, and we'll have to watch it close. But, right now, it looks like we coul... With the weather we had this Friday, it just makes you think of Spring. Our high Friday topped out at 61 degrees, more like the average highs of late March and early April. Since we're on the topic of Spring, some good news I guess for you warm weather lovers. Some new research out says the Spring season could be starting two days earlier! Here's the story...
Finally a little relief from the cold. We did get some sledding in over the past 2 days, but the sun has taken most of that away. So why not warm things up. We will be near 50 by Friday afternoon. Get some outdoor plans! By the weekend, the cold air will return. The biggest question mark is early next week. Depending on where the storm center moves, south of us or right at us, we could be looking at an icy mess. If it moves to our sout... The snow came quick and in bursts Saturday night covering Kentuckiana with about an inch of snowfall, some spots a little more or less. If it's got to be this cold, it might as well snow right! It's a real fluffy snow, and unfortunately, probably not enough to give the sled a good test run. Air and pavement temperatures will be below freezing, so be careful driving, especially on the untreated secondary roads. Enjoy the Winter Wo... No, it's not the best hairdresser in town named Alberta, it's a storm system. As you may have guessed these quick moving storms originate out of the Canadian province of Alberta, just east of the Rocky Mountain chain. The jetstream picks up these storms, and shoves them through the Great Lakes and the upper Midwest. The Alberta Clipper, or Canadian Clipper as they're sometimes called, often brings a shot of cold air and light precipitation.... For you fact junkies, this morning tied for the coldest in more than a decade. This morning at Standiford field it got down to -1, tying that kind of cold back on January 1st, 2004. Before that it got down to -5, on February 4th, 1996. The coldest ever just two years prior on January 19th, 2004, down to a crazy 22 below zero! Seymour in southern Indiana got down to around -7, Indianapolis to -12, and Chicago -17!! Check ou... Hats off, actually keep your hats on - its cold out there! - Kudos to the Louisville firefighters braving the extreme cold on this frigid Friday! Have you seen those Alaskan Crab fisherman shows, "The Deadliest Catch", well that's what the guys looked like out there this morning fighting the fires at Bardstown and Portland. Just covered in ice! I can't say I feel for those guys, because I don't know what that would feel like, of c... Alright, we played this game in the summer, when temperatures were scorching. Now, let's make this Arctic chill a little fun. Just fill in the blank with your funny saying. Try to keep it as clean as possible, and maybe we'll use it on the air! It's as cold as a ________!!! I'll start... I forget where I heard this, it's pretty bad, oh I think on Regis and Kelly... "It's so so cold I saw a bumble bee wearing a yellow... Wind chills have been below zero this Thursday, but the actual temperatures will go below zero tonight, with wind chills 0 to -10! It got this cold January 1st, 2004 when it got down to -1. So, this is the coldest weather in five winters! Here's what you want to look like outside today, tonight, and tomorrow...
Get ready for a couple of very cold nights...! Tonight lows will drop into the single digits to around 10 degrees and tomorrow night low will range from -5 to 4 degrees! Daytime highs will have a hard...
Conditions will just keep getting colder and colder over the next week. A few snow showers linger on Tuesday. Colder air arrives Tuesday afternoon with temperatures falling into the 20s, then lows overn... A Winter Weather Advisory will be issued later this afternoon for tonight and tomorrow morning. The clipper system moving through doesn't look that impressive, but any amount of snow on the ground will cause some delays and problems for the morning commute. Look for a dusting to 1/4" in the south with higher amounts along and north of the river. We will see the mercury dropping through tomorrow afternoon. Cold air settles in and hangs toug... Don't blame the meteorologist for your high heating bill, just blame the weather! If you're like me, you saw your gas bill go way up this month. I slowly opened the envelope, anticipating a surprise, then I told my wife how much it was, and we both made a semi-puking face! Yuck! We're really starting to take those LG&E energy-saving tips seriously now! Here's a link to their tips in case you want to try to save a little energy... >> Continue reading: Big Bills!! Oh, how we weather people love to say that! "Arctic Blast!". As we go to the climatological coldest part of the year next week, it looks like some really cold air will arrive just in time. In the polar regions of northern Canada and Siberia (northern Russia) this time of year, the air gets bottled up under dark skies, strong high pressure, and just gets colder and colder. Every once in a while, the jetstream will take a dive, and unleash t... Boy have we been cranking the heat. No, not outside, inside! Don't look for any relief from the high heat bills over the next week or so. By late tonight, we start pumping in some colder air so we have the chance for a few spotty light rain or snow showers tomorrow morning. The best chance for snow will be during the late evening. A dusting or a bit more possible. It has been a while since we had some snowball time. Bring it on! >> Continue reading: More wintry weather ahead! Winter Weather Advisory for Light Freezing Rain and Sleet is in effect from Midnight tonight to 11 am Tuesday... Bullitt County north into southern Indiana may recieve a light icing of 1/4" or less on the roadways, especially bridges and overpasses. Play it safe and give yourself a little extra time for the morning commute. Look for everybody to change back to cold rain by late morning. We're heading to our first full workweek of January, and many of us are really wanting to see some snow. It looks like overnight Tuesday through Wednesday will be our best chances for snow over the next week or so. Only minor accumulations are expected by Wednesday night. Unfortunately, it's more than likely not going to be a sleddable snow. Another snow chance will arrive with a weak system Friday night into Saturday, too early ... I hope you all had a great holiday! Our last weekend of the holidays will be a bit wet. At least it is rain and not freezing rain. The kids aren't so excited about the lack of snow. At least we always have Paoli Peaks and Perfect North. Man-made is better than no-made! Our next chance of wintry weather arrives next Tuesday and Wednesday. Get ready to gear up! ... |
