First widespread snow causes hazardous, messy commute Snow tapering off in western counties, storm moving east By Ryan Watts Frankfort, KY - Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) crews reported early Wednesday morning to combat the latest round of widespread snow across the Commonwealth.

Crews have been working around the clock to keep routes passable. During snow and ice event, the Transportation Cabinet may field 1,000 snow plows and 432 contractors with plows but has responsibility for 63,000 lane miles of roadway.
