Kentucky Department of Transportation crews as well as city and county work crews are continuing to plow and treat roads while in some places, the transition was made to cut and clear trees that fell across roads.
Keith Todd with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet in District 1 said the main concentration Thursday afternoon was plowing slush off the roads so that it does not freeze overnight.
