“you are just lucky because the storm track shifted slightly north”
Yes. The narrative description says it’s going to be north, closer to the Kentucky line.
The description emphasizes that it’s more unpredictable than most events. So we shall see ...
The track keeps shifting north: There is now a band of likely 12”-18” totals JUST to our north, while the heavier prediction was ~50 miles south of us, yesterday. Now WE have a likelihood of a serious sleet storm in the middle, and fairly significant freezing rain, too. I really hope NWS is wrong about the freezing rain. We are still pegged for 11” of snow, too, and below freezing temps are now extended into next Thursday. At least 2 nights will be near 0 deg. F, but at least the wind backs off, those nights.
This is not going to be fun.
I called our closest Rural King to see if they are well stocked on chicken feed and bird seed: “Yes”, but the gal who answered volunteered that they are already out of propane and salt. Fortunately, we are good on those.
