FRANKFORT, Ky. (WDKY) — Winter Storm Blair has brought what The Associated Press deemed the “heaviest snowfall in a decade.”
On Sunday evening, Gov. Andy Beshear issued an update regarding the storm’s impact on the Commonwealth.
“This next period of time where we’re going to see ice across the Commonwealth is perhaps the most concerning,” Beshear said.

Over 38,600 homes and businesses are without power as of 8 p.m., and this number is expected to rise as snow turns to ice across the bluegrass.
“This is just the beginning,” Beshear cautioned, noting that the most dangerous phase of the storm is still ahead.
On Sunday, the governor’s office stated Kentucky saw anywhere from six to eight inches of snow. Central Kentucky, including Louisville, Lexington, and Frankfort, faces the highest risk through Sunday evening, with ice accumulations potentially reaching dangerous levels, up to three-quarters of an inch.
