Snow on day of State Championship? Not since 1993?



2014-11-01 - Rockcastle County, KY - Photo by Jera Kessler. Shamarie Claiborne reports along the way to Semi-State: "We've had cold . . .we've have perfect sunshiny days. . . we ve had dreary days . . . and rainy days . . . but this is the first time I can remember SNOW on KMEA Marching Band Semi- & State Championship Day. I've heard there was snow in 1993 . . . anyone recall. The cellphone photo we sent (above) was taken between KY 80 & I-75 by Jera Kessler, who's riding in our unit of the ADAIR CONVOY. These kids have never performed in the snow - but I've seen them in all kind of weather. I KNOW they have it in them to win No. 21 for ADAIR County High."
