Here are some original photographs after a massive snowstorm at Big Bone Lick State Park in March 2008.
The park was covered with about a foot of snow, which is a lot for Northern Kentucky.
Time-lapse video shows the storm’s progress from midnight EST to 10:30 am EST in Long Island, New York. When the video starts, there are already several inches of snow on the ground. By the following morning, there was more than a foot of snow.

A massive ice storm has hit the state of Kentucky at the end of January. We missed the brunt of the storm and received only about 1/2” of ice covered by about a foot of snow. This was enough to coat all the trees and cause some damage, but nowhere near as bad as in the western part of the state.
