The National Weather Service office in Paducah will post informational graphics on social media during the Winter Weather Awareness Campaigns for each state.
Our region is at risk for extreme winter weather due to its vulnerability to Arctic air masses from the north and the proximity of very moist air from the Gulf of America. Such interactions bring major winter storms. A couple of the biggest winter storms in recent memory include the record December 23, 2004 snowstorm and the Ice Storm of January, 2009.
