The Bowling Green Warren County area hasn't had any major power outages, but they do have icy roadways.

Even the interstate and main roads are down to one lane at best.

The cold temperatures are also posing a concern.

We go now to our Laura Rogers in Bowling Green for the latest on the weather situation.

There.

Hey, Renee.

Yeah, Warren County Emergency Management telling me the top concern so far has been icy roadways.

Bowling green receiving 3.5in of snow and sleet over the weekend.

And then add to that the ice.

It's all led to very slick conditions.

Emergency services have had some issues as far as access, but with the help of local fire department, side by side and four wheel drive vehicles, they have been able to get where they need to go.

Those first responders.

So that's good news there.

Now, we also checked in with the City of Bowling Green's public works department.

Of course, those crews were out before the winter storm treating the roadways with Deicer.

And we talked to Director Andy Souza about current conditions and priorities as they now shift to response.

They've been out today with our plows and we are salting right now, and we're focusing on businesses and our priority and our priority A and B groups.

We had six downed trees with that ice storm.

So we've got to be able to get those out of our right of ways, clear those big trees out.

And so really it's just a dance of making sure we have the right equipment postured, getting our crews rested because we've been working 24 over seven.

These same crews worked all last week.

And then we sort of sent them home Friday and said, hey, have you guys get some sleep and we'll have you working on those 24 over seven shift.

So the crews are tired.

And, hopefully we're on the tail end of this right now, even though it may not seem like it.

The sun's out.

It's helping melt some stuff, and we're just hopefully on the back end of it.

What we try to plan for is we have ten zones in the city.

Makes it easy to sort of recognize by live in this zone or that zone.

And we try to have one plow, one big plow per zone so we can tackle everything all at once.

And, this time we've had some maintenance issues.

Not totally unheard of.

I mean, when it's cold and it's salty, we're going to have some plows break down.

So we had to break down this time, heartbroken so we could not get those back into the fight.

So our maintenance guys have been working 24 seven also.

And they've averaged one work order per hour.

So on a 12 hour shift they've got 12 different things coming in.

Electrical, mechanical, hydraulic all those kind of issues that we have.

So we're down two plows, but I think we're doing great.

We're making up for it with the littler plows.

Like think pickup truck with the salter in the back.

That's what we're trying to make up for.

The sun is our best ally right now.

It's helping.

Combined with that deicer.

And honestly, when folks drive over the deicer, it creates sort of that surface friction and it heats it up just a little bit.

So the best thing people can do is just drive over it and that'll help us actually get that blacktop that you see when you're out driving.

Now the American Red cross is on standby.

And the event that we need warming centers.

But so far that has not been an issue, as we've had only minor power outages.

And Bowling Green Municipal Utilities and Warren Rec have been able to quickly respond to those, get those homes back up and running quickly with power.

However, the potential for power outages will remain throughout the week as we continue to see temperatures well below freezing.

You're encouraged to stay home, stay off the road.

If you do need to venture outside, you should limit your time outdoors and dress in layers.

Exposure to the cold very much a big concern right now.
