Lexington officials are asking citizens to stay in today if at all possible. Mayor Jim Gray says road crews have been preparing for this snowstorm for about a week.
The mayor says extra help to clear roads will be called in from several divisions along with private contractors.
Citizens are being reminded not to park along marked snow emergency routes. Emergency shelters will be open continuously through the weekend and the Catholic Action Center’s Compassionate Caravan will be out looking for people.
Beginning this morning, citizens can call LexCall at 3-1-1 for assistance.
The anticipated significant snowfall amount caused officials at Eastern Kentucky University and UK to call off classes for the day.
