LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Kentuckiana residents are waking up to snow for the third time in less than two weeks. 

Snow started falling late Thursday evening and continued into Friday morning, with some locations receiving several inches. The storm peaked around midnight, and started out in southern Kentucky.

Road crews had brine down before the storm, and crews added salt as the flakes fell through the night. So most roads were in good shape overall, although Keith Kaiser and photojournalist Pete Ruiz did run into a minor problem when the vehicle slid off a secondary road in Memphis, Ind., just before 6 a.m. 

Keith quickly jumped out and pushed the vehicle back on the roadway. 

They were back on the road in no time, with a little pushing from Keith Kaiser

Viewers from across the region shared photos and snow totals, with reports of four inches in Pleasure Ridge Park. Jude Redfield measured 4.5 inches in the WDRB weather garden just before 5 a.m. 

Other reports included more than six inches of snow in parts of southern Indiana, including Paoli.

Advisories and warnings expire late Friday morning, but we're not out of the woods yet. More snow is in the forecast for Saturday, with quick coverings expected, so road conditions will be slick. Temperatures will then plunge into the single digits temperatures by Sunday morning, with more light flurries expected.

Snow and driving

Metro Louisville and Jefferson County

Snow is always a concern for roadways. Louisville Metro Public Works covers 2,750 miles of roads divided into 111 routes to systematically clear ice and snow. Snow routes get priority because they are focused on streets that carry the most traffic or connect people to big employers, neighborhoods, schools or medical facilities.

Kentucky 

Kentucky Emergency Management is reminding people to take it easy on snowy roads. 

Slow down, don't use cruise control and increase following distance. Remember black ice can form on any road, and bridges freeze first. Give snowplows plenty of room and stay alert for changing road conditions.

With salt domes filled in every county and more than 1,500 plow trucks on deck, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet staff, crew members and contractors across much of Kentucky begin pretreating roads in advance of any winter weather. 

Kentuckians should visit snowky.ky.gov for the latest on travel conditions.

Indiana 

The Indiana Department of Transportation said drivers often aren't prepared for winter driving and forget to take it slow. Drive well below the posted speed limit and leave plenty of room between cars.

Roads that seem dry may actually be slippery – and dangerous. Take it slow when approaching intersections, off-ramps, bridges or shady areas — all are hot spots for black ice.

For the latest information concerning road conditions visit Indiana Travel Conditions, or call 1-800-261-ROAD (7623) or 5-1-1 from your cell phone. All services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Bitter cold expected

Following the winter weather system, dangerously cold temperatures are moving into the region. Wind chills could be below or near 0 degrees for most of Kentucky and southern Indiana.

In Louisville, Emergency Management told people to take care of the basics by staying warm and staying connected. 

  • Keep extra blankets and safe heat sources on hand (never use ovens for heat).
  • Check on elderly neighbors or anyone needing assistance.
  • Sign up for LENSAlert for city updates.
