The National Weather Service in Jackson has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for light snow which is in effect until 6am Tuesday for Harlan and Letcher Counties.

Numerous to widespread snow showers are expected at times today, mainly this morning and again late in the day. At 2,000 feet elevation and above, temperatures are expected to be at or below freezing for the entire day and this will lead to light snow accumulations. Temperatures in valleys are expected to remain in the mid and upper 30's today leading to no snow accumulation. An inch or two of snow could fall today at 2,000 feet elevation and above with another inch or two also possible tonight in these same areas before the snow showers become more scattered and taper off to flurries. This will bring storm total snowfall to the 2 to 4 inch range at 2,000 feet elevation and above by dawn on Tuesday. Locally higher amounts above 3,000 feet and in areas the receive persistent snow showers cannot be ruled out.

Around an inch of snow could fall today at 2,000 feet elevation and above with another inch possible tonight in these same areas before the snow showers become more scattered and taper off to flurries. This will bring storm total snowfall to the 1 to 3 inch range at 2,000 feet elevation and above by

For all other areas around Eastern Kentucky, generally a dusting up to one inch of snow can be expected by Tuesday morning.

A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means that periods of snow will cause primarily travel difficulties. Be prepared for snow covered roads and limited visibilities and use caution while driving.

PEOPLE DO EXPECT A 90 DEGREE FORCAST, THEN THEY WOULD COMPLAIN AND WISH FOR COLD WEATHER. THEN YOU HAVE THE ONES THAT NEVER LEAVE THE HOUSE BUT AS SURE AS IT SNOWS THEY HAVE TO GET OUT, ANYWHERE FOR ANY REASON, BEFORE MY GRANDMOTHER PASSED AWAY THAT WAS HER, ANYTHING THAT COULD WAIT HAD TO BE DONE THAT DAY. OH WELL I WISH SHE WAS HERE SO I COULD FUSS AT HER TODAY FOR HAVING TO GO GET A GALLON OF MILK BUT I WILL SETTLE FOR BEING WARM AND THINKING OF ABOUT HER. SMILE EVERYONE AND ENJOY ALL THE SEASONS THE WAY GOD INTENDED US TO DO. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND MAY GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU.

It's just winter weather, did we really expect 90 degree forecast?
