November 11-17, 2007 is Kentucky Winter Weather Awareness Week

The Kentucky Weather Preparedness Committee (KWPC) has designated November 11-17, 2007 as Winter Weather Awareness Week in Kentucky.  The KWPC is a public/private partnership of weather-conscious government agencies at the Federal, State and local level, as well as the commercial broadcast industry.

The goal of Winter Weather Awareness Week is to increase Kentuckians’ awareness of the weather hazards that face the Commonwealth each winter.  As with all hazardous situations, the time to prepare for winter weather is before Mother Nature’s fury is bearing down upon the state, not when Warnings and Advisories are being posted. By taking the time to consider the dangers of winter weather – and prepare for them – you can reduce your risk of harm from extreme cold, heavy snow, and icy roads that are possible over the next several months.

Throughout the week, information will be posted on National Weather Service web pages serving Kentucky, highlighting suggested preparedness activities, safety tips, and useful forecast and warning information. In addition to the daily messages, you can obtain useful safety and preparedness information at the following web sites:

         Kentucky Division of Emergency Management

         Kentucky Travel Cabinet’s 511 Traffic and Travel Information

         American Red Cross Preparedness

         NWS Winter Weather Safety and Awareness

         FEMA Disaster Preparedness

         Winter weather terminology for Kentucky
As always, your latest, most up-to-date forecast from you local National Weather Service office – no matter where you live – is available at weather.gov

blah…. I’m tired…  I’m feverishly rubbing the sleep out of my eyes…
Well, I have no idea yet as to what happened in the area last night, in respect to the weather–I haven’t looked at any news or reports yet. I had stayed up until roughly a quarter past eleven last night, and then resigned myself to sleep, awaiting to be awakened by news of disastrous weather. I had awoke for a moment, at 5:57a.m. this morning, and thought, “Well, it’s over. We made it.” The thought had two emotions–one of happiness, where I was still tired and wanted to sleep, and a feeling of disappointment, where I get a nice cheap thrill from dangerous weather.
I had prepared my bags and equipment last night, before going to bed, in the event that something happened and that I was called upon to work in the office or in the field with the EMA. My bags still sit quietly, on the floor, undisturbed, in front of the desk.
I had moved the scanner upstairs, and took advantage of the weather alert function during the night. It had gone off three times that I recall, last night; once around 10:30p.m., when the tornado watch was extended to cover this region, and twice more, to alert of severe thunderstorms in nearby counties. It’s been silent since.
Now, I sit, trying to get myself to wake up, trying to get moving. I’m so tired.
I wonder how much more Bailey’s blog grew last night, while I slept. It had been quite fun to read–fun watching the comments grow nearly every minute. I think I’ll check his blog first, then go to the NWS, and finally check my inbox to see what news of last night’s events there is available. I also want to see if the threat of not-as-sever-but-still-severe weather is still around, as predicted last night.

Due to the severe weather threat tonight, WKYT’s meteorologist, Chris Bailey, is hosting a “LIVE blog” event.

Chris has been making updates through comments on this post, and is encouraging area citizens, spotters, and weather enthusiasts to chime in, to aid in discussion of the events unfolding tonight.
I’ve been checking in on it every five minutes or so. Been a nice blog entry to watch this evening.
