So far, Pulaski County has managed to avoid the worst of every winter weather event this season.
Will that continue this week? That remains to be seen.
The numbers, however, say that this new week will come in not so much like a lion but like a polar bear.
Adam Batz, meteorologist with the National Weather Service Office in Jackson, Ky., told the Commonwealth Journal that from Sunday night into Tuesday morning, there s about a 70 percent chance of two inches or more of snowfall. (There is) a high probability of 2-4 inches, he said.

Most people can agree that 2020 didn t turn out the way anyone was thinking it would back last January, thanks to COVID-19.
Still, Pulaski County Judge-Executive Steve Kelley feels if there were any silver lining to pandemic s dark cloud, it came with the county s Emergency Management response. Back in October 2019, the county approved plans to establish an emergency operations center (EOC) from where officials could handle any catastrophe from a central command standpoint. County officials wanted to be proactive never thinking they d actually need the EOC in a matter of months.
