SNOWFALL ENDING TIMES ON THURSDAY
Storm Impacts/Cold Weather
• A winter storm is bringing major impacts to central KY and south-central IN this evening through Thursday morning. Significant snow accumulations are occurring across southern Indiana and central Kentucky. This includes treacherous travel conditions, with some impassible roads. Collapsing roof structures are becoming a concern along a narrow corridor north of the Bluegrass Parkway where well over a foot of snow has fallen.
• A glaze to a few hundredths of an inch of freezing rain will be possible over parts of south-central KY, which would create hazardous travel, with snow atop the ice tonight.
• Arctic air behind the storm will send low temperatures Friday morning to around or below zero, with some valleys even colder! These will be record or near record low temperatures for the entire month of March.
