thornton who is live in lexington with a look at conditions out there...good morning. you can certainly tell snow plows were able to make some
headway on this snow during the overnight hours the main roads with less drivers out however that certainly does not mean they are clear and are still in pretty rough shapesince sunday at
midnight on sunday through 330 this morning lexington police have responded to 44 non injury accidents, 5 injury and 460 motorist assists. with this bitterly cold temperatures these
roads are not going to thaw out anytime soon, the cold is also packing local homeless shelters. all organizations we have spoken to are at capacity. the hope center filled up yesterday however
they were not turning people away instead they sent them to a local church and that church is now also at capacity. volunteers hope that means there is no one left out here in this
cold. live we are planning to speak with lexington fire department later this morning to see if they have been called out for any cold weather related
medical emergencies. and wkyt's mike linden continues our team coverage...he's driving around lexington right now with a look at how the roads are

a foot of snow during the storm... roads were so bad during the storm that madison county sheriffs deputies and berea police were using humvees to help
healthcare workers get to their jobs... but deputies say they think e-k-u closing...and people staying home from work... kept them from
dealing with too many wrecks. there's cars all over off the road but i was telling my husband on our drive down how impressed i was with the first responders because you would see
a car to off and the police were there immediately. e-k-u is closed again today...which officials are hoping will keep people off the roads.

on the roads during storms... it's their job to get out on the roads...to save others. one worker in stanford...says they have to just
do their best. yeah no matter what the call, they call 911, you gotta go. do your best to get there. when your best is not good enough, we still have to get there somehow.

how the snowstorm has affected the area...sean good here in corbin, the snow totals weren't as high because it switched over to sleet for a while, but there
are still several inches of snow on the ground. by the time the snow was moving out, things were about as quiet out here as they are now. kentucky state police said they hadn't
worked any major accidents in the area since yesterday. they said most accidents were just fender benders or people sliding off the road. they asked people to stay off the roads
unless they had to be out and it seems most people did that. here in corbin, the storm shut down a lot of businesses. last night there weren't many restaurants open. there was a hardee's that
was absolutely packed. it was the only place around still serving food. plows stayed busy throughout the day clearing roads, but as soon as they went through, the snow and sleet covered them
right back up. the roads supervisor said they planned to be out until midnight last night. of course, governor beshear announced that state of emergency last night.
he asked people to avoid travel. i'm not far from i75 and i don't hear many vehicles. it sounds like people are staying put. live in corbin, sean moody even though the snow didn't start
falling on i-75 in london until a couple hours after the road had received a thick coat in lexington... drivers and road crews there quickly discovered
