Adair County Schools Transportation Director David Jones said that black ice has been reported on KY 768 off Fairplay Road, in the Little Cake area, and in the Knifley area driving has been as treacherous as he's seen it in a long time. "There are numerous wrecks above Green River," he said. "It's bad. As bad as I've seen it in a long time."

Adair County School Superintendent Alan W. Reed reporting earlier on Jones' reconnaissance, said that Transportation Director David Jones has been monitoring the situation in Adair for hours. "He said the situation is particularly treacherous in the Knifley area, especially on Dunbar Hill. We're getting reports that first responders have been busy already this morning working accidents in that area," Mr. Reed said.
