There will be no school in Crittenden County Thursday. It will be the 11th day students have missed this witner due to snow. Students will not have to make up all of those days, however. As it stands, they will likely only have to make up three days.
Because of the latest winter snow storm, state and local officials urged motorists to restrict travel in western Kentucky because of hazardous driving conditions. Caldwell and Christian counties are among areas with the largest amounts of snowfall. Snow amounts exceeded forecasts, and plunging temperatures limited the effectiveness of salt treatments, said Keith Todd, spokesman for the transportation department.
“Transportation Cabinet crews will do everything possible to keep roadways open,” Transportation Secretary Mike Hancock said. “But when conditions are hazardous, motorists should drive only when absolutely necessary.”
Crashes blocked I-24 in Christian County and the Purchase Parkway in Marshall County for a time on Wednesday.
