ADDIE MEINERS AND JAMIE MAYES cover road conditions, but let’s start with Chief Meteorologist JAY CARDOSI and JAY. SNOW AND ICE FINALLY STOP. NOW IT’S GOING TO BE REALLY COLD. Yes, folks, we’re going into the freezer for the next three days. And how about that chopper shot? THIS IS JUST A WINTER WONDERLAND RIGHT NOW. A GLACIER ON THE GROUND. What a storm. THIS IS THE TWO-DAY SNOWFALL NUMBER. THE ICE CREAM NOT INCLUDED BUT OFFICIAL IN THE CITY. AND THIS WILL BE TAKEN AT THE AIRPORT. 10.5 inches of snow fell. Okay, so that’s kind of an early look at the snowfall amounts around the viewing area. YOU CAN SEE THE DARKER SHADE OF PURPLE WHICH PLACE IS BASICALLY 5 TO 10 INCHES OF SNOW, BUT 30 FEET. And then as you move south of there toward the parkways and south of that, the snowfall really tapered off because there was more liquid precipitation mixing in, more sleet, more freezing rain and good old fashioned rain. WELL, THIS MAP WILL PROBABLY CHANGE A LITTLE OVER THE NEXT DAYS AS WE RECEIVE MORE AND MORE REPORTS, BUT YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE SNOWFALL REPORTS FROM THIS STORM COUNTY BY COUNTY. LOCALLY, 12 inches in northern HARRISON COUNTY, FLOYD COUNTY, 10 TO 11 INCHES IN CHARLES TOWN, INCLUDING CLARK COUNTY, JEFFERSON COUNTY 9 TO 11 INCHES OF SNOW. Man, it’s pretty deep out there. AND AS YOU MOVE SOUTH, SNOW CLOSER TO E-TOWN IN HARDIN COUNTY 5 TO 7 INCHES, NEAR BARDSTOWN 5 TO 8 INCHES. And a little north of that, and then only 2 to 3 inches, if that, the further south you go. STILL THERE IS A LOT OF SNOW ON THE GROUND. The good news is that Rick alluded to the snow and ice being gone. THE RADAR CLEAN SWEEP, THE WINTER STORM WARNING HAS BEEN CANCELED. BUT boy oh boy, it’s still slippery in some places. HERE’S A LIVE VIEW OF FLOYD COUNTY NOW. This is Grant Line Road and you can see a lot of snow on the side of the road. The road is wet and look out for a few icy patches trying to re-develop as temperatures drop a little later this evening. BUT GOOD TO SEE THAT THE ROADS ARE IMPROVING A LITTLE. HERE IS OUR WLKY DRIVE CAM AGAIN. AARON, WHERE ARE WE HERE. So we’re standing right there in front of the lime kiln. And you can see that things are looking pretty good on the main roads at the moment. They get out on the side streets. BUT, AND THERE’S STILL LOTS OF SNOW AND SMOOTH. THERE ARE ALSO ruts. It shakes your car a little. So please be careful if you have to venture out. If not, just stay inside. BUT BUT THE SIDE ROADS RIGHT THERE YOU CAN SEE THE SNOW ON SOME OF THESE SIDE ROADS. And you have these ruts, and they also start to freeze again. So it’s pretty tough out there again. BUT IN MANY LOCATIONS WE ALWAYS HAVE 29 DEGREES. HUMIDITY 66% NORTH NORTHWEST BREEZE 11. AT THIS POINT THE FEELING IS ABOUT 20 DOWN. IN ORDER. However, the radar scan is clear again. TEMPERATURES MUCH COLD. We’re talking mid to upper 20s. THEY TAKE THE WIND INTO CONSIDERATION. IT FEELS MORE LIKE THE TEENAGERS WHEN YOU NEED TO GO OUTSIDE, WHEN YOU NEED TO SHOVELING A LITTLE, WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, DRESS FOR TEENAGER FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. HERE IS YOUR DETAILED 12 HOUR FORECAST. HOLDING ON TO LOTS OF CLOUDS. The first half of the night. THEN WE WILL CLEAN SLOWLY. And here’s the thing about tonight. WHEN WE CLEAR A SITE, IF YOU ARE CLEARING FOR SEVERAL HOURS, YOU WILL BE FUELING, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS A LOT OF SNOW ON THE GROUND. THESE TEMPERATURES WILL LOWER TO THE SETTINGS HERE IN THE SUBWAY. I expect a delayed clarification. I think we’ll settle back down to near 12, maybe even upper single digits in the outlying areas. Okay, that’s the forecast for tonight. EXTREMELY COLD AIR. ANOTHER SNOW CHANCE. YES. RICK. JENNIFER, AS WE ENTER THE END OF THIS WEEK, WE HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE OF SNOW COMING UP FROM THE SOUTHWEST. WE WILL TALK MORE ABOUT THIS ON DAY SEVEN. COME
