Kentucky State Police Post 3 Tropper Daniel Priddy says they have worked multiple collisions and slide-offs on Interstate – 65 through the night. “Please do not travel unless absolutely necessary.”

Today it is expected to be partly sunny with a high near 8°. Winds could gust as high as 31 mph resulting in wind chill values as low as -25°.
“Check on your pets, make sure that they’re doing well. Bring them in if you have to,” said Hale, “I just encourage folks to stay home if you have to.”
