Another breezy day for boating

If you're planning on taking the boat our for a spin Wednesday, better plan on taking it slow.

For the second day in a row, a Lake Wind Advisory is in effect for most of the tri-state.  Sustained winds of 10-20 miles per hour will accompany 20-25+ mile per hour gusts. 

Winds become stronger over water as there is little resistance or friction to slow them down. 

The National Weather Service, which issues Lake Wind Advisory, warns that small boats will be especially affected by choppy waves and are more prone to capsizing.

Pre-treating of highways in preparation for wintry mix

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 2 Highway Crews plan to pre-treat area highways to prepare for a threat of freezing rain, sleet, and/or snow that is expected to sweep through the region on Thursday night into Friday morning.

This system has the potential to create some gnarly driving conditions, particularly on the Friday morning commute.   Motorists are urged to closely monitor the local weather forecast for updates as the winter weather system approaches.

Motorists should be alert for slow moving trucks during daylight hours today and Thursday as crews go about their work spraying brine to prepare roadways for this event.

Preventative maintenance can reduce cold weather's impact on homes, businesses

With falling temperatures and wintry weather now in the forecast, Kentucky Farm Bureau Insurance Companies says western Kentucky residents should be wary of the potential for damage around their property. Below-freezing temperatures, snow and ice not only cause problems for motorists, but they may also lead to issues around the home and office.

“When snow, ice and freezing temperatures hit, we typically think first of the mess that it will make on the local roadways,” said KFB Insurance Vice President of Claims, Greg Youngblood, “but we can’t forget that our homes and businesses are also subject to changes in weather. We manage a large number of claims each year for homes and businesses damaged by winter storms and freezing temperatures.”
