Timmy Supercell Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Found a chilling video from western Kentucky, no idea how close this is to Mayfield but it has to be the same supercell which crossed several states. You can see the actual tornado approaching their area towards the end. Also note the impressive lightning and how the thunder sounds here. I've only been in lightning of that nature once in my life (July 2017 in Klamath Falls, and it wasn't at night!) and thankfully I'm a relatively light sleeper. Storms like this will jolt me out of bed. I didn't think December could produce this kind of display of energy. 5 Quote Ashland, KY Weather '23-'24 Winter Snowfall - 5.50" First freeze: 11/1 (32) Minimum: 2 on 1/17 Measurable snows: 4 Max 1 day snow: 3" (1/19) Thunders: 16 1/27, 1/28, 2/10, 2/22, 2/27, 2/28, 3/5, 3/6, 3/14, 3/15 3/26, 3/30, 3/31, 4/2, 4/3, 4/8, Severe storms: 2 ------------------------------------------------------- [Klamath Falls, OR 2010 to 2021] https://imgur.com/SuGTijl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a hand shoveling of the driveway and now have the first snow piles of this winter season. The snow is very wet and there is now a good 2" on the ground here.

westMJim Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 There was a brief period of heavy snow fall here last night. The total here at my house was about 1 inch and there is a total of 3" on the ground at this time. Last night was one of the few times were the overnight low at the airport was colder than here at my house. The official low was 25 and here at my house I had a low of 27. At this time it is cloudy and 28 here at my house. Later today or tomorrow I will go and get some gas for the snow blower as there is a good chance that it will be used for the first time this winter season over the weekend. As for how much snow we will get well as always we shall see. I like this sentence from today GRR discussion "Accumulating snow will occur over our entire forecast area it appears though with inch or two amounts along U.S. 10, to maybe 3-5" totals along I-96 and potentially 5-7" along I-94. Model QPF amounts do not support much more than that at this point despite what you might see from some model algorithms on the web." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
