❄️ Snow Team Update: A snow burst moved through Louisville Metro this morning. Crews are checking routes and addressing problem areas.

If you’re driving, take it slow, leave extra space, and use caution — especially on bridges and overpasses.

[Louisville Metro Public Works @LouPubWorks]

🚧 Traffic Alert: Signal pole replacement at Shelbyville Rd. & Evergreen Rd. this weekend (March 14 - 16).

Expect delays Saturday with signals temporarily out. Please use alternate routes if possible.

[Louisville Metro Public Works @LouPubWorks]

We are seeing freezing rain across Louisville Metro, and our Snow Team is actively treating our dedicated snow routes.

If you must be on the roads, please take it slow, use caution — especially on bridges and overpasses, which can freeze faster.

[Louisville Metro Public Works @LouPubWorks]

A wintry mix is falling across Louisville Metro. Crews are actively salting dedicated snow routes.

Track progress at https://t.co/7159RVuclA.

If you must drive, slow down, allow extra time, leave plenty of space between vehicles, and give crews room to work. ❄️

[Louisville Metro Public Works @LouPubWorks]

❄️ Light snow this afternoon. Snow crews are out monitoring conditions and treating trouble spots with salt mixed with calcium chloride, which helps melt ice at colder temps. Please slow down and use extra caution if you’re out driving.

[Louisville Metro Public Works @LouPubWorks]

Snow Team Update: Overnight crews took over at 7 p.m. and are continuing to plow, watch for refreeze, and salt problem spots. Salt is being hauled from the Mega Cavern to refill salt domes.

Roads are improving, but slick spots remain—please drive with caution!

[Mayor Craig Greenberg @LouisvilleMayor]

I want to take a moment to give a huge shoutout to our Snow Team.

This drone video captures our crews performing an echelon on Preston Highway- a coordinated snow-removal formation where multiple plows work side-by-side to clear several lanes at once and safely push snow off the roadway.

Our Snow Team has been working around the clock, logging more than 125 hours by Tuesday afternoon alone. They’ve pushed through harsh conditions and long, demanding shifts to keep our dedicated snow routes clear and safe.

This work is tough, critical, and often happens while the rest of the city is able to stay safely at home. We are incredibly grateful for their dedication, teamwork, and grit.

[Mayor Craig Greenberg @LouisvilleMayor]

Louisville Metro continues to work closely with a contracted partner who has committed to staying with us through tomorrow morning to support ongoing snow response efforts. Their crews are assisting with select streets outside of our dedicated snow routes.

At this time, that additional support is focused on roads that help residents access medical facilities, pharmacies, schools, grocery stores, major employment hubs, and other essential destinations, which is an important part of maintaining community mobility during and after this storm.

We do want to help manage expectations. Even with this added contractor support, we will not be able to reach every local road that is not part of Louisville Metro’s snow routes or maintained by a home rule city or homeowners association.

[Louisville Metro Public Works @LouPubWorks]

Overnight crews came in at 7 p.m. to continue salting and plowing. After a day of progress, crews are now focused on preventing refreeze.

About 70 trucks, including contractors, are on the road tonight. Thanks to our Snow Team for helping get Louisville moving. ❄️

[Mayor Craig Greenberg @LouisvilleMayor]

Good morning, Louisville.

Thank you for staying home and listening to our warnings. Our crews worked through the night and made a lot of progress, but there are still slick spots across the community.

This morning, I helped someone who was stuck at an intersection, a good reminder that if you can stay home today, please do. We’ll continue working all day to keep things moving.

Thank you for doing your part while we work to keep everyone safe.

Snow Team Update: We’ve made great progress since the snow stopped falling and expect to make additional strides this afternoon. Please stay off the roads if you can while crews continue clearing streets.

[Mayor Craig Greenberg @LouisvilleMayor]

All of our Snow Team members go above and beyond in times like this, but I want to take a moment to recognize two who truly went the extra mile during this storm.

While out working, Zack Lewis, a Snow Team driver, came across a motorist who was unconscious. Zack immediately called it in, and our dispatcher, Clarissa Lamar, called 911 to make sure the motorist received help and was transported to the hospital.

I’m incredibly thankful for both of them. Moments like this show the kind of people we have working around the clock in Metro Government- caring for our neighbors and helping keep our community safe.

[Louisville Metro Public Works @LouPubWorks]

UPDATE: We've received word that power has been restored to residents in the Fairdale area.

[Louisville Metro Public Works @LouPubWorks]

Our Snow Team has been working around the clock salting and plowing our snow routes.

Plowed does not mean clear. Snow can quickly cover roads again in these cold conditions. Please stay home if you can. If you must drive, take it slow.

[Mayor Craig Greenberg @LouisvilleMayor]

Hey Louisville,

Please continue to stay off the roads. Even after we plow, new snow covers them again, and we won’t be able to fully clear everything until the snowfall stops. We’ll have another briefing at 2 p.m. with updates on our progress.

Remember, it will stay dangerously cold, with wind chills below zero. National Weather Service has issued an extreme cold warning through Jan. 27 at 11 a.m. Stay warm, stay safe, and stay tuned for updates.
