A surprise snowstorm too aim on parts of northeast Kentucky during the midday and afternoon hours of Thursday March 3rd.  The storm system that produced the snowfall wasn't that impressive as a weak area of low pressure tracked across southeast Kentucky.  However, the precipitation moved in a little quicker than forecast and a little heavier than forecast.  As a result, a forecast for rain and temperatures in the upper 30s ended up as heavy snow in a stripe from near Georgetown eastward into eastern Kentucky. The heaviest snow fell along and north of the Mountain Parkway where 5 to 8 inches was reported in Morgan, Elliott, Johnson, Rowan and Magoffin Counties.  Several vehicles were stranded on area roads due to the quickly accumulating and heavy, wet snow.
