Louisville's average winter snowfall is a little over 12 inches and we are over 8 and we have barely got started. Several more chances in the next three weeks being shown by most models some with nasty potential followed by some of the coldest air mass we have seen here in years.

I don't go by calendar winter but instead use what is termed as Meteorological winter for our geographic location as it holds more true to what we actually experience. That would be a three month winter of December, January and Febuary so we are just getting this ball rolling. 62.2% of the United States has snow on the ground right now, very non typical this early in the year. Anyway I get wordy on this stuff, the long story short, hang on guys this one is going to be bad, if I'm wrong I will be happy but we may break some records before this puppy is over I'm afraid...
What do you guys think?
Better watch it.........the whacko's out there will be talking AGAIN about global cooling.
