5:49 a.m., MARION, KY – Frozen rain began falling just seconds ago.
Al Starnes, director of transportation for the schools, called and said, "We not going to bring the kids in today. We think it's going to hit us and hit us hard. We just can't take the chance."
Good call.
Illinois schools made their own similar announcements last night as WPSD-TV was predicting another round of wintry mix.
Pray for the Kenergy and KU crews. Let's hope last week's storm cleared the right-of-ways of potential problems and strengthened the power system. If not, this could get ugly. Keep your fingers crossed. Mine are!
