FRANKFORT, Ky. â Gov. Andy Beshear urged Kentuckians to make a plan as a "major" winter storm made its way toward the commonwealth Wednesday afternoon.
"We've fought too hard for 11 months through COVID to lose you to the roadways," the governor said during an update that preceded what meteorologists expect to be a strong winter storm system bringing snow accumulation and freezing rain.
As part of the state's response to the severe weather forecast, Beshear said Kroger's three major vaccination sites across the state -- including at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center in Covington -- would postpone their first day of appointments, originally scheduled for Thursday. Those appointments were all automatically rescheduled for the same time and place, a week later on Feb. 18.
