As I sit at the table enjoying a fine home-brewed smoked porter and working on some scheduling, I'm also watching the Louisville TV stations lose their collective minds over the POSSIBILITY of 1" of snow. The NBC affiliate sent a crew to Seymour to film the dusting on some grass. My daughter's swim practice was cancelled. School tomorrow? Two-hour delay? This is absolutely mind boggling. Note...not a flake has fallen here and my daughter has parked her rump on the couch with homework and her Ipad.

I had right at 6" today by sunset, and we are in the lake effect band, so a possibility of another 10" by tomorrow afternoon is forecast for us. We will see, we've had about 2" since sunset. Maybe see 5°F tomorrow night on the thermometer too.

I always seem to laugh at how people in knox county make a mad rush on the grocery store for, yep you guessed it. Milk and Bread, always get a laugh. My wife and I always make jokes that we had better go get some and if we are snowed in for a long period of time then, yep the kids are on the menu. Unless Grandma and Grandpa are over. After all they are old and they have lived a long and happy life.
Just have to get the snow jitters out of the way much like you did your first kiss and then everything settles down.

I remember when I was a kid that I had to chop ice to set muskrat traps for the opener of trapping season. That's still 3 days away......... So, it really isn't unusual, and that was here in Northern Indiana.

Having the snow makes it nice for tracking wounded deer on opening weekend.

This is true but for Starke county hunters shooting out of the bed of a pickup truck at 2:30 in the morning while running flat out over a fresh cut corn field can make it difficult to get a good clean kill shot. Set your beer down and hold that spotlight still!!!!! |

But, for Louisville, any snow is a huge thing, they`re not used to dealing with is like most of us are. It`s not a common occurrence.

The problem in the Louisville market is that we are always right on the edge of snow, rain, sleet and freezing rain and as such, the local weather people struggle with forecasts so much so that they wait until it starts and then call it "now casting"... As a matter of fact, we had an ice storm one year ago today... And....I looked at the extended forecast and there are three chances of freezing rain just in the next 14 days. |
