Summary of Winter Storm Jan 19 2019

Snow/Ice

An intense band of snowfall moved into the region from western Kentucky/southern Illinois.  This band was beginning to weaken however, leaving southern IN and central KY with lesser accumulations.  Still, most areas saw at least an inch of snow, with a peak value of 7 inches right over northern Orange county in Indiana.  The following satellite image is a blend of several different GOES-East images.  It shows mid-level (light blues) and high-level (light orange) clouds, but the key feature to note is the green coloring.  That indicates where the snow has fallen, with brighter greens being heavier amounts.

The images below show the reported snowfalls received at NWS Louisville. Note that the areas on the colored maps are generalizations -- local spots may have had more/less than what the maps indicate.

Wind:

Behind the departing surface low pressure center, winds really cranked up.  The timing matched up with the snowfall as well, causing difficult nighttime driving conditions.  Peak winds gusts across the region ranged from 35-45 mph.
