Frigid Weather Hits Kentucky
KENTUCKY....
It was the coldest night of the season Saturday night as lows dropped into the single digits across the state. Lexington hit a low of 6 degrees, but with the winds, it felt like it was below zero for much of the night. Kentucky was not alone when it came to the cold, while places in Minnesota dropped to 35 degrees below zero for the second night in a row.
Highs returned to near 20 degrees Sunday with a mix of sunshine and clouds, and another frigid night saw lows plummet to near ten degrees with partly cloudy skies continuing throughout the night. On Sunday, forecasters predicted a weeklong stretch of frigid weather and a snowstorm for both Kentucky and Tennessee, saying a snowstorm is likely to arrive Wednesday night into Thursday, affecting most of Kentucky and Tennessee, with anywhere from 1 to 4 inches accumulation expected.
