Mayor Steve Barnes has the Jeffersonville Community Center open for anyone without power. Currently we have approximately 750 residents without power, mainly in the southern end of the county.

Deputies are delivering medications to those who are shut in. Just call the 911 Center for delivery information.

The Road Departments of our area have done a tremendous job keeping our roads cleared and are continuing to do so.

Expect more temporary road closures as trees continue to fall from the weight of the ice.

Be safe and check in on your neighbors.

Don’t let the bare pavement fool you! What you can’t see is black ice, hard-packed snow, and other slide-inducing issues still present on all roads, even main priority routes. With reports of cars slipping and in ditches, it’s still best to stay home! As of 9 AM, roads mostly snow covered, icy. Crews in all northeast counties remain out plowing and salting. Air temps in the 20s with pavement 30 to 32 degrees. As freezing rain tapered off overnight, crews made headway on priority A routes (like I-64). Crews will keep clearing, and work toward priority B and C back roads today. Refreezing will be a concern as temps drop toward the teens, and salt becomes increasingly ineffective.

TL;DR … It’s not over yet. Plow crews working. Avoid non-essential travel. If you must be out, check GoKY.ky.gov to know before you go, take it slow, eliminate distractions, buckle up, and keep plenty of space between vehicles, especially plows. Thanks!
