Snow Hits Kentucky
KENTUCKY....
Just as it was beginning to look as if Old Man Winter may have decided to skip over Kentucky, several residents in the northeastern and southeastern parts of the state were surprised when they saw snow Saturday morning. An overnight dusting of snow in eastern Kentucky fell Friday night and with temperatures below freezing, transportation officials were warning drivers about slick roads on Saturday. The National Weather Service expected the light to heavy snow to continue falling in southeastern Kentucky until Saturday afternoon with total accumulations of about 1 to 3 inches, and that was enough to keep road crews out to salt and clear roadways in several areas.
