Governor urges Kentuckians to brace for winter weather By Crystal Staley/Chuck Wolfe/Angie Van Berkel Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear is urging caution on the roadways across the commonwealth this weekend following the National Weather Service's prediction of snow for many regions of Kentucky overnight Saturday into Sunday. Wet, heavy snow - possibly mixed with some sleet and freezing rain - will be possible all-day Sunday, creating an opportunity for power outages in the southern and eastern portions of the state.

KYTC crews across the state have been readying equipment, stockpiling salt and ensuring plows and salt spreaders are in good, working order. Crews also have been pretreating roads in a few districts where conditions were dry enough. The treatment consists of applying a brine spray that helps reduce bonding of snow to pavement.
