Chris Bailey's weather forecast: Major winter storm pulls away

Veronica Walker shoveled snow from the driveway of her house join the 800 block of Melrose Ave. during a heavy morning snow in Lexington, Ky., Friday, January 22, 2016. Much of Kentucky is under a winter storm warning. Charles Bertram cbertram@herald-leader.com

Wraparound snows continue across much of Central and Eastern Kentucky early today. As a matter of fact, many areas will pick up additional accumulations. Another 1-4 inches (locally higher east) will be possible through noon. That could bring snow totals in some areas to 20-24 inches. The snow tapers off this afternoon as the east coast blizzard pulls away. Winds will still be gusty and the drifts will continue to grow. Waist deep drifts are a good bet.
