We've been preparing here at the Valley for the oncoming Deep Freeze - well, at least relative to the last 20 balmy years since 1994. It is predicted to reach the -6°F to -8°F range on Wednesday morning. By contrast, January 1994 brought nearly 16 inches of snow which was then capped by -30°F in rural central Kentucky - and the all-time KY low temperature of -37°F to Shelby County, KY.

That's cold.
