KYTC: Nonessential driving still discouraged By Chuck Wolfe Frankfort, KY - Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) snow and ice crews are working for a second day to clear roadways left icy and snow covered when a powerful winter storm swept through the state on Thursday. Skies will be sunny today, but temperatures will remain below freezing, so crews will add calcium chloride to salt to aid in deicing. Gov. Andy Beshear declared a state of emergency Thursday and urged the public to refrain from all but essential driving. Anyone venturing out should remain alert for slick spots, dramatically reduce driving speed and stay out of the way of KYTC crews and emergency vehicles. "Dry weather will greatly help us," Gov. Beshear said. "But water from melting ice today can freeze again when temperatures remain frigid. The best advice is to stay off the road. If a trip is essential, exercise extreme caution."

Senate bills on school councils, remote instruction move forward By Nancy Royden, LRC Frankfort, KY - With the first week of the 2022 Legislative Session almost over, two education bills related to school councils and remote instruction are advancing in the Kentucky Senate. On Thursday, the Senate Committee on Education voted 9-1 to pass Senate Bill 1, which calls for local superintendents - rather than school councils - to determine educational curriculum for districts. Superintendents would still need to consult with the principal and school council beforehand and provide a reasonable review and response period for stakeholders in accordance with local policy. The committee also passed Senate Bill 25, which would provide up to 10 days of remote instruction per school for the 2021-2022 academic year. It would also temporarily revise retirement reemployment provisions until June 30. The legislation passed on a 10-0 vote. Both measures now head to the full Senate for consideration.

Brandy Held's mini-Hereford brings back memories By Michael Watson Seeing cattle in the snow and bitter cold always takes me back to the mid-1970s winters. We still had beef cattle and my twice daily job was to bundle up, head to the barn and feed the cattle. This morning, searching for a piece of history, I rediscovered this article from an old Adair County News, 6 November 1941, on "Youthful Stock Raisers".

This snow like those of my childhood By Lanny Nunn This snow is like what we used to have when we were children - 4 to 5 inches of good ole soft snow. If makes me homesick wanting to be a child again; no responsibilities, just wanting to play all day and be with friends. No school, waxing your best sled, wrapping up in good warm clothes and up and down the hills until you just run out of energy. 2022-01-07 11:36:24 | Comments | Printable version

Motorists are still advised to avoid travel Friday morning The reports are the same on Friday morning from several transportation districts in central and southern Kentucky--motorists are still advised to avoid travel. Crews are working hard to clear yesterday's snow, and nearly all area roads will still be covered or partially covered with slick and compacted snow, and possibly ice, until temperatures rise enough for road treatments to become effective. In the meantime, emergency response and towing resources continue to be in high demand. Motorists are advised to avoid travel if possible. Motorists that have to be out should pack emergency supplies and adjust driving behavior by slowing down and leaving plenty of space between vehicles. Remember not to call 911 or dispatch centers for travel conditions. State-wide road conditions are available at goky.ky.gov. 2022-01-07 07:28:15 | Comments | Printable version
