@ItalyLover33 @FOX56News When slick roads lead to more than 200 accidents and widespread standstill traffic, “messy commute” is a pretty accurate description.

@PaydenHinkle @FOX56News Seriously? "Messy commute?" Clearly you've never lived in a northern state. This was nothing! Less than nothing! A complete non-news event.

(1/3): After this morning’s messy commute on snowy roads, I asked Mayor Linda Gorton if city crews had been out working overnight. She says crews began pretreating yesterday and continued working overnight and into the morning. @FOX56News

(3/3): Several of Mayor Linda Gorton’s critics, including mayoral challenger Raquel Carter, called the city’s response unacceptable. Gorton responded and said she would love to hear suggestions but so far has heard none.

(2/3): I asked Mayor Linda Gorton what’s being done to prevent this from happening again. She says the city is working to have contracted large ice breaking equipment on call for the rest of this winter and next winter, noting the equipment is too expensive for the city to buy.

Major backups continue across the area. This is I-75 NB at the Athens Boonesboro exit.

@Delili_26 @FOX56News Thanks for the update. Stay safe out there.

@PaydenHinkle @FOX56News I have been sitting at Exit 104 on I75N near since 5:30am. It was just ice on the roads then turned into MAJOR Snowfall.

Snow is causing major travel issues across Lexington this morning. Give yourself extra time as you head out the door. @FOX56News

It’s snowing. There is ice. Just because it’s March, doesn’t mean the wintry conditions work differently. Slow down. Another reminder, drive slow. @PaydenHinkle and @jaceobartotv tracking crashes and traffic this morning ❄️🧊🥶🚙

Light to moderate snow is really starting to fill in across central, southern, and eastern Kentucky this afternoon. Light snow accumulations are likely through the afternoon, especially on elevated surfaces. As temperatures drop below freezing this evening and tonight, slick spots will likely develop as additional snow showers move through. #kywx
