No schools, no bus service, and many businesses are closed, even gas stations.
This afternoon, Louisville officials gave an update on their progress to reopen Derby City.
So in terms of roads, we are making significant progress.
I was thrilled that when I left my house this morning and got to a main road, we were able to see pavement.
We've got 111 snow routes, as we've talked about, 2750 miles.
Now, just because we're making good progress, there are still slick spots and we still need people if they are going out to use extreme caution.
Hopefully people will stay home for the remainder of today to give our crews as much time for the rest of the day.
Let the sun do its work and get through the night before tomorrow.
And we're going to continue to focus around the clock on this until all of our snow routes are clear.
What we're concerned with is the single digit temperatures that are going to be coming up, and we're going to be seeing those overnight pretty much for the rest week, overnight.
Open up your cabinets where you have any lack of your sinks, faucets, especially if they're on an exterior wall.
Open up one of your faucets and let it drip just a little bit.
Just a little steady stream to make sure that those don't freeze.
Because what happens when you have no water?
Which becomes a health hazard, but also then you're going to be worried about flooding when those stall out and those pipes burst.
We do monitor that.
We call it no water.
And fortunately, the message seems to be getting out there because since Friday we've only had 40 no water complaints.
Also, in addition to the cold weather, you know, there are some folks that do not have a home and are out on the street that are homeless.
We're operating under white flag conditions right now.
So all of our shelters are taking anyone who needs space inside.
We also last week, issued three permits to emergency shelters that are also operating as well.
Just because we're making progress and the sun is out does not mean we're back to normal.
So if you do go out, please use extreme caution when you're driving around town.
Drive slow and make sure you take care of yourself, your family, and your pets.
It is going to be incredibly cold even once our roads are back to where we want them to be.
Mayor Craig Greenberg says by tomorrow, all community centers and several libraries will be open.
The Transit Authority of River city, or Tarc, as it's called, plans to open most bus routes back up tomorrow as well.
