While snow is the story for today, as much of the state saw accumulation early this morning, school was canceled in several counties across the state, including and Kentucky's two largest school districts.

But it was northern Kentucky that saw the most snowfall, enough to break a record.

Our Emily Sisk has more on that, and tells us how Boone County crews are getting the roads.

The roads are rather ready for travelers.

Details in tonight's weather coverage.

This is the snowiest December 2nd Northern Kentucky has ever seen.

Just over four inches were recorded today in Covington and at the CVG International Airport.

Both the Boone and Kenton counties were under a level one emergency today to alert residents of hazardous road conditions.

Our crews really got started yesterday preparing with things, getting all the trucks ready and salt loaded in vehicles and everything, and even doing some spot pretreatment and stuff here and in certain locations.

Then we report it back in about midnight and we're out scouting and treating, all through the course of the night.

We have 40 trucks here in Boone County that we were able to put out last night.

And, we cover about 500 miles of roadways.

Boone County Engineer Robert Frank Smith said the majority of snowfall came between midnight and 5 a.m.. Boone County recorded between 4 and 5in of snow.

The majority of the hard, hard work started about 5 a.m.

when the light the snowfall actually stopped.

And of course, that's when traffic generally starts to pick up to.

Me and said the 40 plus truck driver crew focused on primary roads and highways, then began clearing secondary roads this afternoon.

He gave credit to drivers in Boone County, saying most people stayed off the road and allowed the work to get done, and he was confident that despite the record breaking snowfall, most county roads should now be passable.

For the most part, you just see wet pavement with the occasional slushy area and stuff like that.

Obviously shoulders and curbs and gutters and things like that.

We'll still see some, some accumulation, of slush and whatnot there.

But for the most part, everything is very, very passable.

As freezing temperatures persist in the coming days.

Road crews will keep an eye out for icy roads.

We'll have crews that are consistently watching for, refreeze in areas and slick spots and things like that.

And the Boone County engineer had a word of advice for travelers who are braving the cold.

When you do see cloud trucks around or salt trucks, give them some extra space.

The the crew has been working quite, quite some hours, right?

I mean, they work a full day yesterday and then report back in at midnight.

So, certainly those those folks are, seeing some challenges of fatigue and whatnot.

So give them as much space as possible.

Boone, Kenton and Campbell County public schools for all out today due to inclement weather.

No word yet if they will be closed again tomorrow.

For Kentucky Edition, I'm Emily Sisk.

Thank you, Emily, the Boone County engineer said.

For a snow storm like today, the Public Works Department will use around 300 tons of road salt.
