Hazardous road conditions persist ahead of 2nd winter storm From Naitore Djigbenou/Allen Blair Frankfort, KY - Hazardous travel conditions continue to impact Kentucky as below-freezing temperatures and snow flurries persist across the state ahead of another winter storm forecast to arrive Friday. Motorists are urged to exercise safe driving practices if they must be out while Team Kentucky's Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) snowfighting crews work to keep main roads clear and maintain critical routes for emergency responders. "Impacts are not expected to be as severe with this next storm, but our crews remain just as committed to their work to keep Kentuckians safe," said KYTC Secretary Jim Gray. "The public staying home and off the roads greatly helped our storm response earlier this week. We ask you to remain cautious as extreme cold may make for slick roads currently as we prepare for the next winter storm." The National Weather Service (NWS) expects several inches of snow across most of the Commonwealth with higher amounts approaching the Kentucky southern border. Ice is not part of the forecast this time, but with day and night below-freezing temperatures the snow is likely to create hazardous driving conditions with slick roads and bridges. Crews are monitoring the weather and are preparing to plow snow and treat roads where needed. Click headline for additional information, including suggestions for an Emergency Car Kit, and tips for what drivers are expected to do when traffic lights are out, or power lines fall on a roadway. Since Sunday's storm that blanketed the state with snow, freezing rain, and ice, a team of more than 2,300 highway crew members and support staff have worked around the clock, plowing nearly all of Kentucky's 28,000 miles of state highways and applying at least an estimated 150,000 tons of salt to keep Kentuckians moving safely. "These things are accomplished because of the dedication and commitment of the folks who are, thankfully, on Kentucky's Team," Gray said. "We are so grateful to have these talented men and women serving our communities." KYTC maintains most roads, streets and bridges that are part of the State Highway System, including interstates, parkways, and U.S. route designations. KYTC operates on a four-tier priority system to keep people and commerce moving in the most effective way. While impacts of the incoming snowstorm are not expected to be as severe, limiting travel is still encouraged. If you must be on the road, remember to bring an emergency car kit, be aware of debris - especially downed trees and power lines - and know what to do if a traffic signal is out.
