Governor declares state of emergency. “Our commonwealth is facing a significant winter storm,” he said Saturday. The forecast says Lexington and Central Kentucky could see snow, freezing rain and ice that will make travel difficult and cause power outages.

Andy Beshear has signed a declaration for a state of emergency after two-thirds of Kentucky was placed under a Winter Storm Warning, according to the National Weather Service. The winter storm warning is from 3 a.
