KYTC District 8 crews ready for next winter event By Amber Hale Somerset, KY - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 8 snowfighters are ready for the next round of winter weather expected across the area tonight. The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for all ten counties in District 8--Adair, Casey, Clinton, Cumberland, Lincoln, McCreary, Pulaski, Rockcastle, Russell and Wayne. Weather forecasts are calling for rain to transition to snow this evening through tonight. A brief wintry mix in between the transition is possible. Temperatures are expected to drop which will cause roads to quickly become icy and snow covered tonight. Motorists are advised to avoid unnecessary travel. If you must travel, motorists should expect hazardous travel conditions. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) mission is to keep traffic moving in a safe manner with an emphasis on maintaining mobility along critical corridors and priority routes. When bad weather hits, crews are assigned 12-hour shifts to plow and treat roads using a priority system based on the amount and nature of traffic within each individual county. Priority A routes include major through routes and are those most heavily traveled. Priority B routes include other important, but lesser traveled, state routes. Other roads fall into Priority C. The Cabinet's snow and ice information website, http://snowky.ky.gov, provides details about priority routes, helpful winter weather tips, fact sheets and videos on salt application and snow removal. In addition, the public can monitor winter operations in real time on the state's interactive traffic system - GoKY.ky.gov - to find out what's happening on state routes in their local counties. The following measures will help keep motorists safe and prepared:
