Overview
|
A storm system moving east through the Gulf states brought wintry precipitation to southern Kentucky December 8-9, 2018. Many locations over southern Kentucky experienced a wintry mix with the predominant precipitation type being freezing rain during the evening of the 8th and continuing into the morning of the 9th. By sunrise many locations saw 0.1"-0.25" of ice accumulation on elevated surfaces such as trees and powerlines. Some power outages occurred as well (around 2,000-3,000 without power during the peak of the event). Temperatures warmed above freezing by around Noon in southern Kentucky causing most of the ice to melt. |
