Did You Know?

A monumental ice storm knocked out power to many Lexington neighborhoods in 2003 and caused classes to be cancelled for a week. Students still share pictures and discuss the horrors of being without power and lectures for so long (right).

A popular saying among students is “If you don’t like the weather, wait five minues!” Things can change from the time you enter a class to the time you leave. Be prepared!

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Plan on bringing clothes for four distinct seasons of weather and a lot of rain. Every few years, a horrible ice storm hits Lexington and knocks out power and cancels classes. Short of a natural disaster, classes will be in session. Be prepared for unpredictable weather and keep an umbrella handy.

Be careful walking past Patterson Office Tower if you are carrying papers or an umbrella, because the building creates a wind tunnel that could rip your clothes off. Be sure your backpack is waterproof and get some good rain boots for the spring showers that come every year.

Kentucky Weather

The weather is very nice here, in comparison to my hometown of Chicago. It gets cold but it is definitely tolerable. When it starts warming up it is beautiful and the campus is just as gorgeous. Can't really complain about the weather in Kentucky too much.

Mild Weather in the South

Growing up in the midwest with snowy winters, I am used to the worst. With only being a state away, it is amazing the difference in climates. It has been a mild winter with mostly rain. It is a hastle to walk to class in the rain. But I would take this over the 10 inches of snow I am sometimes used to.

Be Prepared

Make sure you check the weather channel before you walk out the door in the morning. The weather is up and down a lot here. Just this past week it was 60 degrees and storming and 2 days later it felt like 25 degrees outside. Other than the temperature changes though, its not too bad. Just don't be caught wearing shorts and flip flops when the temperature drops. The spring and summer are usually nice though.
