Well, winter 2011 is now upon us. It is Dec 22 and today is the winter solstice and the first day of winter. So far, it has been quite mild. We had a cold snap a few weeks ago but it has mostly been in the 40’s and 50’s – definitely manageable for Kentucky in December. Last year at this time we had already had snow six times with three times of it sticking for 19 days. So far this year we have not had any snow at all. While my son is not happy, I can live with it.
We’ll see how the Kentucky 2011/2012 snow season goes. Below is a summary of what I captured for 2010/2011:
- 12 days of snow
- 9 times it stuck
- 7 times it stuck for longer than a day
- 36 days with snow on the ground
While it ain’t California, I am glad it’s not Minnesota or Michigan. I agree with someone I heard recently who said “This is the farthest north I am ever living”.
Also, below is the Farmer’s Almanac prediction.
