State office buildings closed on Friday By Crystal Staley/Scottie Ellis Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear is closing state office buildings Friday, Jan. 7, after declaring a state of emergency and confirming with Kentucky Emergency Management that freezing, single-digit temperatures are expected over much of the commonwealth beginning at 8pmET and continuing through the night. "All roadway surfaces will freeze. They are and will be extremely dangerous," Gov. Beshear said.
