Western Kentucky usually does not experience extreme weather conditions such as extreme heat or blizzards, although in the winter of 2002-03, we received 24" of snow, about three times the norm.  Summer time in west Kentucky is usually humid with temperatures averaging around 90°F.  The summer heat usually peaks in late July, with very little, if any, 100°F+ days.  Snow is not rare in west Kentucky, but the area probably receives less than any other part of the state.  Snow usually falls between the first of December and about the first of March, although measurable snow has been recorded in October and April.  Most snowstorms do not produce anymore than two or three inches of snow, but occasional storms can dump six inches or more.
