Gov. provides update on response to winter storm system Governor encourages Kentuckians to stay home as crews work to clear snow and ice from roadways; power outages climb to over 50,000, with more expected From Scottie Ellis Frankfort, KY - On Sunday, January 25, 2026, Gov. Andy Beshear was joined by Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) Secretary Jim Gray and Kentucky Emergency Management Director Eric Gibson to provide an update on severe winter weather affecting the commonwealth. As snow, sleet and ice continue to move across Kentucky, Gov. Beshear encouraged Kentuckians to stay off the roads and to seek help in the event of a power outage. "Kentucky is in the heart of the storm right now as precipitation moves across the state, and ice has become our biggest concern," said Gov. Beshear. "We expect snow, sleet and ice to keep falling throughout today and overnight. This is combined with dangerously cold temperatures throughout next week. Stay off the roads and stay warm. Power outages are rising quickly, and we need you to get to a warming center if your power is out." Power Outages and Warming Centers: The Governor stated that power outages are rising fast, with over 50,000 reported at the time of the 10amET update. Gov. Beshear said that number is expected to rise throughout the day, making warming centers even more critical. Kentucky currently has 113 warming centers set up across the commonwealth for those facing an outage. To find a warming center near you, or if you need additional assistance, find resources here: www.kyem.ky.gov. (Locally: Adair County Warming Stations are open) Kentucky State Parks have designated resort and recreational parks as warming stations. To assist Kentuckians in locating available warming stations, the Department of Parks has created a webpage with real-time updates at parks.ky.gov/inclement-weather.

Basketball: Indians defeat Eagles at Home By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer On Friday, January 23, 2026, the Adair County Indians defeated the Campbellsville Eagles 75-72 at home. The Indians repeatedly opened up double digit leads over Campbellsville, but the Eagles refused to go away and kept it close before mounting a comeback at the end. The Indians were thankfully able to hold on late and pickup their 15th win of the season, and their fourth District win. Senior Tylin George led the scoring for Adair County with 26, followed by Dawson Gilbert with 16, John Shehan with 12, and Samuel Feese with 11. Landon Blakey led the team in rebounds, with 12, followed by Shehan with eight, and George with six. The team shot the ball 48% from the floor, 43% from three point range, and just 46% from the free throw line. The team's return to the court is uncertain due to weather. Saturday's game was canceled. The Indians are next scheduled to travel to face Madisonville-North Hopkins (3-16) on Tuesday, but as of now that seems unlikely.

Rupp is Loud, The Training Room is Louder By Ryan Hoots Sports Director, UntdWeStnd.com Lexington, KY - I know it's tempting. Kentucky wins a game, Rupp gets loud, social media starts cooking up March pathways, and suddenly we're acting like this roster is exactly what it was supposed to be back in October. Newsflash, It's not. It's not even close. This team is injured. Not "day-to-day banged up." Actually injured. Rotations are razor thin. Minutes are exceedingly heavy. Practice reps are obviously limited. Other guys are playing through things they normally wouldn't until February desperation time.

Remembering the snow storm of 1977 By Phyllis Curry I have seen several posts today about the winter of 1977 and people walking on the Ohio River. I can recall January 24, 1977 very vividly. It was my 25th birthday and I was scheduled for a C-section that morning in Somerset. I was to be admitted Sunday afternoon. It was spitting snow as we drove to the hospital. By Monday morning, there was lots of snow. My parents loaded their pickup truck with wood and made their way to the hospital. This was before the days of finding out the gender of the baby before it was born. Thankfully, we did have disposable diapers in 1977.

European Snow Skiing with Harry Beard By Doug Beard Every winter season when we have our first snowfall, I reflect on the passion that my father (Harry Beard) had for snow skiing. He skied throughout Europe in the 1940's and 1950's including the Olympic sites in Innsbruck, Austria; Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany; and Lillehammer, Norway. While skiing in Lillehammer one winter season, he finished 2nd place in the downhill slalom competition. I treasure the stories of his adventures on the slopes and his ski jacket is proudly displayed in my office.
