A strong Alberta Clipper brought heavy snow across north central Kentucky. While clipper type storms, which originate across the Canadian prairies, do not usually produce heavy snow, this storm featured a very deep and compact upper low. This low tracked from west to east right across central Kentucky. Initially, 1 to 3 inches of snow associated with warm air advection fell during the predawn hours. Just after sunrise, an additional 2 to 4 inches of snow associated with a deformation zone developed along and just north of Interstate 64. Storm totals varied widely across north central Kentucky and the Bluegrass Region, with just 30 miles separating 2 inch accumulations from 6 inches.
