The last time South Central Kentucky experienced a moderate El Niño was in 2004, when a State of Emergency was issued for the City of Hartford.
Northern portions of Ohio County received more-than 14-inches of snow and at least 2-inches of ice.
This year, a moderate El Niño is predicted to influence weather patterns across the United States.
Along the west coast, a wetter-than average winter is forecast, while in the Central U.S., there are equal chances for precipitation.
In the Southeast, a drier-than average winter is forecasted.
However, regarding the weather patterns in 2004, there is discussion that this December and early January 2010 may account for the majority of the season's wintry weather.
This season, much of South Central Kentucky stands a one-in-ten chance of seeing a white Christmas.
The remainder of the winter season may just be quiet and chilly, with at or slightly below-averages temperatures.
