Oh my, snowy treks, sledding, and sparkling lights! Although many of us associate winter with hibernation, seasonal depression, and spending much too much time scraping snow off our cars in the morning (ugh! ), winter in Kentucky is an extraordinarily cozy season full of lots of chances to get outside and have fun.
Between December and mid-March, Kentucky experiences an average winter temperature range of chilly 20s to chilly 40s, with the occasional exceptionally gorgeous day reaching 60 or higher.
Kentucky receives an average of 11 inches of snow per year, so even though the average amount of snowfall in the United States is 28 inches, the weather is ideal for bundling up and taking part in all of your favorite winter activities without having to worry about developing frostbite or experiencing extremely low temperatures that make you want to scream, “Wake me up when the winter is over!”
