Roadways in Kentucky were seriously impacted by ice and snow accumulations from this past weekend's winter storm.

Governor Andy Beshear said despite below freezing temperatures, the state did, quote, get a little luck, allowing the Kentucky Transportation Department to make enough headway to assist city and county crews.

The way the sun came out for two straight days got the temperature of the roadways warm enough, even though the regular temperature out there wasn't, for our salt and brine to be effective.

The National Weather Service is predicting dangerously low temperatures and more snow in Kentucky through the weekend.

This toddler summed up the mood for most shoppers at a Walmart in Lexington, Kentucky.

The state is bracing for ice and heavy snow, and Governor Andy Beshear has already declared a state of emergency.

Reed Lanter and his partner were part of the crowd stocking up.

This store, like so many others in the path of the storm, had rows upon rows of low-stock shelves.

As for shovels, management said those were all gone as of Thursday night.

Amanda Radford stood on a driveway staring at a cement foundation where her parents' home once stood. Richard and Wanda McFall were asleep when a tornado cut through their neighborhood. It tore their house apart, tossing their SUV out of the garage into the air. It landed on their bedroom. They were in bed, so we did not... did not get to keep them. They were gone.
