KYTC: Downed trees and freezing temps make driving hazardous By Amber Hale Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 8 crews efforts to clear roadways are being hindered by downed trees and below freezing temperatures following the winter storm system that continues to move through the region today. Roads remain slick and hazardous. Travel is not advised. Crews worked throughout the day yesterday treating and plowing routes focusing primarily on priority A routes. While some crews were able to begin addressing B and C routes yesterday afternoon downed trees and power lines created hazardous conditions, prompting District officials have crews focus only on priority A routes through the overnight hours for the safety of crew members. Crews will remain out in force today, plowing and treating roads and removing downed trees. However, due to the large amount of downed trees needing to be cleared and low temperatures making roadways harder to plow it will be some time before all roads are clear.

Ash Wednesday Service, virtual, tomorrow at CUMC By Doug Beard The Columbia United Methodist Church invites everyone to join us for a (virtual) sacred time of worship as the family of God with music, readings from the Holy Scriptures, and an Ash Wednesday message as we prepare for the season of Lent. In the past, our tradition has been to have this time of worship together as a “Community of Faith" during the noon hour. This year, however, with the global pandemic, we feel this is the safest way to remember this Holy time of reflection, commitment and spiritual renewal. With God’s blessing, we will assemble again for this special service as a Christian family in 2022.
