BUST!!!

It is official: my forecast was off by about 40 miles, and that made all the difference in the world. The 2-5 inch amounts can be found in Bulliett, Hardin, Spencer, and Franklin counties in Kentucky, with significant ice and 1-3 inch snows south of that (I was right on that, at least).

However, southern Indiana is left on the very short end of the stick with this system...We have received just about nothing so far. Will we see anything? It appears that the worst of the weather will be just to our south. However, we could still pick up to 1" of snow in some areas.

The worst part is that as a warm front moves north late this morning and into the afternoon. This will drag precip to the north for the late morning and afternoon. However, this precip will fall as sleet and freezing rain. We could see up to .2" of freezing rain and light sleet accumulations as well.

So, it is not the snowstorm that I expected along the Ohio River, just south was the main show.

Will post again (if needed) as 1pm...
