The situation in eastern Kentucky was a little different.

Parts of the region there picked up more rain than snow.

Still, everyone is getting in on the freezing temperatures.

We spoke with a meteorologist at Wymt TV in Hazard, Kentucky, about what the region experienced.

We've been calling it the New Year's winter storm here at Wymt.

Basically, it was a very fast moving storm.

I mean, not even a couple of days before it.

It was in the Pacific Ocean and it traveled quite a way to get here.

And it really dumped a lot of snow here in eastern Kentucky.

And ice.

Starting on Sunday, I spent the night Sunday here at the studio into Monday morning right before the morning newscast on the Hal Rogers.

You know, give or take, a couple of miles above and below.

That's where our freezing line was.

So if you are above that in eastern Kentucky, you got more of that snow mixture and wintry mix.

And then as you go below that, you had that rain and the wintry mix and everything froze when that cold front came through.

So the farther north you got, the more inches of snow.

I know before the rain came here.

At Hazard, we had about six inches.

When we put them in the morning anchor we put a ruler into the ground.

We had six inches.

I know there are some reports in Moorhead that we got that were about six inches, too.

So, I mean, definitely a lot of snow.

And in terms of ice, it's been very varied depending on, you know, how far north or south you are of that.

How.

ROGERS But some places did get up to a quarter of an inch of ice, which is quite a lot on power lines.

We've been monitoring the outages in Kentucky.

I don't remember off the top of my head which counties, but there were some that had upwards of 1005 hundred customers in a county that were out.

Thankfully, we've had a lot of good responders to this that have gotten on to it as quick as they have on a rock.

Castle County was hit pretty quickly with the system and had a lot of power outages pretty instantly.

But they went out and fix things and within a couple hours they got those numbers down really quick.

We'll be seeing like little to no melting at all, especially here in Hazard.

I know that we're getting 27, 28 degrees is our high today.

26 tomorrow and 27 on Thursday.

So that freezing point, 32 and there's not going to be any melting of that snow here.

We're still seeing that some roads haven't been cleared.

Some of these roads won't be clear for several days.
