LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Friday’s shot of snow has brought a handful more inches of accumulation to the commonwealth after the first winter storm earlier this week, much to the pleasure of those hoping to enjoy the winter weather.
Donning heavy coats and mittens, several teens and families took to the large hills on hole 7 at Cherokee Golf Course, ready to sled.
“There's a lot of snow on the ground, so I was like, 'We should make the most of the day; let's go sledding,'” said Sebastian Brooks, who has organized a handful of sledding meets this week with his friends.
Brothers Zac and Mac Tossou had a half day of school Friday. But once out, they hit the “slopes.”
“It's pretty nice; definitely icy," Zac Tossou said. "Super bumpy. There's a bunch of blocks of snow that are all iced up, but it's nice. It's cool."
This past Sunday, Jan. 5, close to a foot of snow fell in Louisville, followed by freezing rain and sleet. Nearly a week later, grassy surfaces are still blanked in mostly frozen hard snow.
Temperatures are expected to remain at or below freezing for several more days, meaning sledding conditions should stick around into next week.
