National Weather Service launches Kentucky Winter Weather Awareness Week
SUMMARY: This weekend’s below-freezing temperatures will persist into the week, coinciding with the start of Kentucky’s Winter Weather Awareness Week. The initiative aims to promote safety and highlight winter weather scenarios, including challenging road conditions. The National Weather Service will focus on winter driving safety on Monday, emphasizing that four-wheel drive aids traction but doesn’t guarantee control. Emergency Management Services will evaluate road closures and warming centers as temperatures drop. Additionally, flood safety will be addressed due to risks from frozen ground during winter rainfall. Residents are advised to prepare emergency kits for their cars to ensure safety.
This weekend’s below-freezing temperatures are expected to continue into the new week. It’s perfectly timed that today is the first day of Winter Weather Awareness Week in Kentucky.

Kentucky housing sales a mixed bag in December | Kentucky
SUMMARY: Kentucky’s housing market saw a slowdown in December, with new listings declining by 3.5% year-over-year to 2,973 homes, and a significant drop of over 40% from November. Properties took longer to sell, averaging 20 days, three days longer than the previous year. Sales also dipped slightly, totaling 3,270, down 0.5% from December 2023. However, the median home price rose 8.8% to $265,000. The housing market faces challenges, including fewer first-time buyers and rising interest rates, with the average mortgage rate reaching 7.04%. These factors indicate ongoing inventory shortages and pressures on potential new homeowners.
