Suprise That Winter Weather Advisory is out.

It is good to see winter colors on the Paduach NWS map. It makes me feel good time for the hot coco and the warm cozy nights for tonight at least. For some areas of west ky a light acculamtion of primarly a sleet/frezzing rain/ rain mix will occur. Mostly north of US 62 precipation values aren't expected to be much. Enough for minor ice acculamtions on bridges and overpasses and espcially on rural roads. Even some acculmations in Indiana. Heres the text and also a link to check your Kentukcy travel conditions in the morning.
