Snow Covers Kentucky
KENTUCKY....
Monday, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet officials were calling snow covered highways in the state "the worst travel conditions of the year." Along a stretch from Morehead north to Maysville, roads were completely snow-covered, while multiple accidents were reported in the Morehead area. State officials said, in Floyd County, plows were beginning to mobilize before noon. Monday afternoon the powerful Alberta Clipper system began to move to the east. As eastern Kentucky remained under a winter weather advisory, snow pounded central and northern counties with at least five to six inches of newly fallen snow in some areas...with more on the way. The weather was creating hazardous traveling conditions and prompted numerous flight cancellations at Blue Grass Airport and Louisville International Airport. Snow emergencies were issued in some northern counties, meaning vehicles could be towed to allow snow plows access to snow routes.
