NWS Issues Winter Weather Advisory Western KY, Southern IN Feb 23

Oh boy. More winter weather is on its way. Oh joy. Oh rapture. I'm so excited. NOT.

If it wasn't for family, I'd have moved somewhere warm year-round a long time ago. But alas, I live in Indiucky where it's almost 70 degrees one day and is under a winter weather advisory the next.
