We're Nearly to the Finish Line

Superstorm Sandy will slowly move away from Kentucky these next couple of days.

It has been a sprint for millions of people caught up in this Superstorm. The folks in Kentucky are nearly finished with theri role in this historic event. Others aren't so lucky! It will cause more problems as it moves directly over New England.

This was one of the most difficult forecats that I have ever tackled and I'll openly admit that I wasn't completely unscathed by this one. I was beaten up a little... but we'll keep on trucking!

THE TOTALS BELOW ARE SEPARATED BY AMOUNT AND ARE NOT NECESSARILY THE
FINAL AMOUNT FOR EACH LOCATION.

New snowfall will be falling into the early morning hours of Wednesday. Then it will of course change back to rain... again! Basically, the same thing that happened on Tuesday.

Beyond this system... the temps will climb back up the thermometer into the 50s by the weekend. All we need to do is get through this last leg!
