LEXINGTON, Ky. — Bitter Arctic air moving into Central Kentucky Monday has prompted school closings and delays across the region. A Cold Weather Advisory is in effect until 10 a.m. on Dec. 15, with lows Sunday night falling into the single digits.
FOX 56 Meteorologist Jordan Burns warned, “If you are outside for any extended period, you will want to layer up and bundle up because any uncovered skin is susceptible to frostbite.”

-
Closed Today: Clay Co., Estill Co., Fleming Co., Floyd Co., Franklin Co., Harrison Co., Jackson Co., Lee Co., Leslie Co., Paris City Schools, Rowan Co., Scott Co., Wolfe Co.
