With conditions continuing to deteriorate, Fleming County is moving to a level 3 Snow Emergency. Only emergency response, law enforcement and road crews should be out and on roads.
With sleet and ice conditions compounding the still falling snow, city county and state road crews are having difficulties keeping roadways passable for motorists and emergency responders.
