Frankfort, KY – Light snow flurries are sweeping across parts of Kentucky today, prompting a winter safety reminder from the Kentucky State Police (KSP).

According to KSP, snow was observed this morning on interstate cameras operated by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet in Boone County (I-75/I-71), Gallatin County (I-71), Hart County (I-65), and LaRue County (I-65). Drivers in these areas are being urged to slow down and use extra caution, especially on bridges, overpasses, and rural roads where slick conditions may develop.

KSP also encouraged motorists to check or assemble winter car safety kits. Recommended items include gloves, hats, flashlights with extra batteries, non-perishable snacks, bottled water, kitty litter, jumper cables, and other emergency essentials.

Officials reminded residents not to call KSP posts for road condition updates, directing travelers instead to the state’s real-time resource at GoKY.ky.gov for current traffic and weather information.

With colder temperatures expected to continue through the week, drivers are urged to remain alert for changing road conditions and to allow extra travel time.
