Heavy lake effect snow will continue in the Great Lakes into Wednesday before another storm brings a widespread general snow followed by another round of heavy lake effect snow. A wide-ranging winter storm will produce great swaths of heavy snow, sleet, and treacherous freezing rain from the southern Rockies/Plains and Mid-South starting Friday and shifting toward the East Coast through Sunday.

Overview
A couple of weather disturbances merged across central Kentucky, dropping several inches of snow across a swath down the middle of the state.Snow/Ice
Below is a map of snowfall that occurred across the region March 11-12, 2018. These data were gathered from various reporting sources including trained spotters, trained observers, emergency management, law enforcement, media, department of highways, and the general public. It should be noted that the highest snowfall report received was 10", but the range goes up to 12" on the legend. Please keep in mind that the snowfall was hit or miss in some spots and this is an interpolated map. It could be slightly off in your area. You'll also find a second map that shows snow depth observed at 7 AM. Some snow was lost to compaction and melting by this time, and it may differ slightly from the snowfall totals.
