SUMMARY: Senator Jason Howell received the Kentucky Chamber MVP Award in December for his leadership in supporting Kentucky businesses during the 2024 General Assembly.

The award recognizes legislators who champion business-friendly policies, such as passing critical bills that enhance competitiveness and growth.

SUMMARY: This morning’s radar shows moderate to heavy snow mainly east of I-75, affecting areas like Fleming, Bath, and Wolfe counties, with visibility dropping to half a mile in some locations. Eastern Kentucky could receive 1 to 2 inches, particularly in higher elevations. Most roads are wet, but icy spots may develop on bridges and overpasses as temperatures drop near freezing. While snowfall is tapering in Central Kentucky, scattered squalls and snow showers are expected this afternoon. Tomorrow will bring sunshine with temperatures reaching the mid-30s, and warmer weather is anticipated by Saturday, with some rain chances returning.

Oh the weather outside is frightful!
While most of Kentucky may only see a trace amount to a coating, eastern Kentucky may get over an inch of powder as this snow system works its way across the Bluegrass.
