As the region awaits the next wave of snow, several agencies and businesses will remain closed Wednesday because of hazardous driving conditions created by snow and ice at the start of the week.
Officials warned residents they shouldn't try to travel, and the Salvation Army prepared to offer shelter to people needing a warm place during the storm.
Western Kentucky could see 5 to 9 inches of snow accumulation starting Sunday, the National Weather Service reported. A second storm could produce more accumulation mid-week.
Thursday's forecast included an 80% chance of sleet, rain and freezing rain, but the National Weather Service said little or no additional ice accumulation was expected.
