Good evening everyone!
I will post the final snow totals on my video tonight. See if the forecast verified - and see where the forecast did not verify!
I am still watching (been talking about this event for over a week now) a potential significant weather event around January 30th - February 2nd. Somewhere in that time frame.
Stay tuned

This was my final forecast call from yesterday noon - as of this writing it was still snowing. I will have to post the actual snowfall measurements once I pull them together from spotters. Probably too low in the Evansville to Owensboro area as I know they picked up 3-4" of snow.
We will see how this forecast panned out once all the numbers are in.
Note - I have changed my Facebook to BEAU DODSON WEATHER

See my previous posts for my snowfall forecasts.
Wow - well the snowstorm proved to be difficult to forecast - however, in the end - I think we did okay with calling where the sharp cut-off line would be. It all came down to just a county or two for the difference between measurable snow and no snow at all!Areas near KY Lake and east and south received the most snowfall.
As of this writing, snow was still falling - I will have to update in the morning with some final totals.
This was a heavy wet snow that stuck to trees and power lines.
The snow will continue over central and eastern Kentucky through today (Wednesday). Significant accumulations are likely in some counties. Please view the latest watches and warnings for specific county information.
As this system winds down we will be watching a weak system for the weekend and then a bigger storm is still in the charts for around January 30th through February 2nd. That time frame. Still too early for me to determine whether this will be a rain or snow event. So - stay tuned.
