City of Lexington issued the following announcement on Jan. 29.
Posting this information again due to the dangerously frigid temps on tap for this week. Do not take this lightly. These temperatures are lower than we've seen in decades, and frost bite happens within minutes in this type of cold. If you HAVE to travel, please be sure to fill up your gas tank and bring lots of warm clothing/blankets with you should you get stranded. It looks to begin Tuesday evening and last through Thursday. Stay safe, Lexingtonians!
