HOPKINSVILLE, KY (CHRISTIAN COUNTY NOW) – With around 1 inch of snow overnight in Hopkinsville and temperatures below freezing, roads, schools, events and businesses in the county have been affected.

This morning, the Christian County Sheriff’s Department reports that main roads like the Pennyrile Parkway seem mostly clear, but drivers should not discount the possibility of black ice. State highways and county roads are still covered with a layer of snow, according to CCSO. Deputies recommend people stay off the roadways, and to drive with extreme caution if travel is necessary over the next few days.

On Sunday, Gov. Andy Beshear declared a state of emergency due to winter storms with high winds, heavy rain and severe temperature decreases. “We continue to ask Kentuckians to stay weather-aware as snow accumulation and below-freezing temperatures continue to sweep through the commonwealth,” Beshear said.
