About Kentucky Winter Weather
Kentucky winter weather varies dramatically across the state. Across the 6 Kentucky cities covered by SnowSense™, average annual snowfall is 14 inches, ranging from 11 inches in Bowling Green to 22 inches in Covington.
School-closure thresholds track the regional snowfall climatology: districts in high-snowfall areas close only for major events, while low-snowfall districts close for smaller events that would be unremarkable elsewhere. Kentucky's district-level autonomy means nearby towns sometimes make different closure calls for the same storm.
