Lexington and much of Kentucky woke up to bitter cold temperatures and a sub-zero wind chills Saturday ahead of a large winter storm expected to bring dangerous conditions, heavy snowfall and sleet to the area this weekend.

Lexington officials urge residents to stay home as crews clear roads during a major winter storm. A snow emergency is in effect, and price gouging protections are active.

Police have closed South Broadway in both directions between Red Mile Road and Waller Avenue due to a water main break.

As the first day of a powerful, prolonged winter storm came to an end Saturday, Kentucky was already blanketed in snow with forecasters calling for more and an increasing risk of ice to come.

Between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m., the Lexington Police Department responded to 58 collisions, nine of which involved injuries, according to Lt. Steven Wiggins. Officers also received one motorist assist report and four reports of traffic hazards.
