Even though Pike County is listed in the areas under the watch, it doesn't look like we are going to get too much of nothing but rain......

Amen to that! I miss the snows of the 90's when I was little.

The guy on the CNN Weather said he expected all of Kentucky to get around 2 inches of ice along with whatever snow we got.

I know that most of my teachers said that they think it's just going to rain. My Aunt who lives in Portsmouth, OH which is about 30-45 minutes past Ahland, if that, said that they're getting hit HARD!!! Lucky. LoL!

Yeah i need to know..

I highly doubt it. Tomorrow or Wed.

IF we get rain.... you bet your tail we will be in school young man... LOL.... IF we get ice... they will probably call it off AFTER everyone either gets on the bus or on the road to get there.... (sarcasm)

I believe a lot of games were cancelled tonight

Knott County hasn't had school since the 16th.

HAHA yeah they wait to call it off after kids are out waiting for the bus or after you jump outta the shower!

I love my WSAZ texts i get though!
They keep me updated all morning. lol.

They're calling for 3-5 inches in Lexington/Richmond area.

I hope we get a foot!

Wheres all this frickin weather at? I want my snow NOW!!!

Well, depending on where you're at......


Central KY isn't supposed to see anything until around 11 PM or midnight, so I'd say Eastern KY will be later...say around 3 AM, maybe later.

The way I look at it, being a senior, is i've had to stay until June the past couple of years, why not my last? I mean we get out the last two weeks anyways!

Come on snow! POUR DOWN!

Well, I'll be asleep then. I hope I wake to 6 in. of snow, lol.

I hope we got a foot of snow as well. Is it doing anything in EKY right now?

Not right now. I doubt it doing anything but rain unless we get lucky and it freezes.

If we get anything in EKY, it wont be until the early morning!

I heard 2-3 inches of snow with a quarter inch of ice. IF it rains it WILL freeze. Should be 25 degrees or under.

I really hope so!
All we can do is cross our fingers!

According to weather.com, the Phelps area (EKY) is not expected to get any weather till about 4AM, and its going to be freezing rain/sleet/then to a wintery mix.

I want snow now!
