Kentucky Braces for Potential White Thanksgiving as Recent Severe Weather Sparks memories of Historic 2022 Snowstorm
across Kentucky, unseasonably harsh conditions are raising concerns about a possibly disruptive Thanksgiving week, recalling the state’s recent history of extreme weather events. Residents are closely watching forecasts as the possibility of a snowy holiday looms, bringing to mind the notable snowfall of November 12, 2022, a devastating tornado outbreak in December 2021, and the record-breaking arctic freeze of December 2022.
these events underscore a pattern of increasingly volatile weather in the region, prompting preparedness and reflection on past challenges. The National Weather Service reports substantial snowfall occurred across Kentucky on November 12, 2022, while a powerful tornado outbreak ravaged parts of the state on December 10th and 11th, 2021. The December 22, 2022, arctic front plunged temperatures to as low as 10 degrees below zero in some areas, creating dangerous conditions and straining resources. Many Kentuckians recall the severity of these events and are hoping for a more moderate Thanksgiving.
