We in Kentucky have had plenty of snow and ice in winters past and the professionals are anticipating a cold, icy, white weekend beginning any hour now. When the white plague is on the ground, even if it is not a record in any way, cabin fever and the accompanying symptoms seem to overtake so many of us that open rebellion comes into the minds of many. Here are a few weather notes assembled from nearly forty-five years of research into Adair County's past: Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2022-02-03 14:17:41 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Mike Watson - History

KYTC: District 8 crews preparing for challenging winter storm By Amber Hale Somerset, KY - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 8 highway crews have been preparing for several days to respond to the winter storm expected to impact the region with a wintry mix of freezing rain, sleet, ice and snow. The National Weather Service forecast calls for rain gradually transitioning over to a wintry mix of freezing rain in the District 8 region Thursday afternoon and lasting into Friday. The expected ice and arctic temperatures will create difficult to impossible travel conditions. Damage to trees and power lines is likely - a condition that poses its own dangers to KYTC crews and can delay road response work. Motorists are strongly advised to avoid any unnecessary travel. KYTC District 8 crews have spent this week replenishing material supplies, sharpening chainsaws, and preparing equipment for response to the winter weather event. Rain throughout today will prohibit pre-treating of area highways in advance of the approaching winter system.

Public Notice: 2022 Primary Election workers needed For more information about becoming a poll worker, please call The Adair Co Clerk's Office at 270-384-2801 or send an email to Lisa.Greer@ky.gov. Please respond as soon as possible. By Lisa Greer, Adair County Clerk The Adair County Board of elections needs your help with the May 2022 Primary Election. When we submitted our election plan for Adair County last year, we submitted 16 precinct locations open as normal. But in order to have those precincts open we have to have the workers. We cannot run elections without Poll Workers. They are the most fundamental piece of the process. Finding workers can not wait until the last minute. If we are short on election workers for the 2022 Primary, we may have to change our Election Plan and this decision will need to be done by the end of February. To operate all 16 precincts, we will need 80 workers. We need four workers plus alternate workers at each precinct. Alternates come in at last minute to replace the poll workers in case of sickness, etc. Each worker and alternate have to be trained and ready to work. We encourage registered voters of Adair County to serve their community as poll workers.
