Holiday travelers advised to be careful, low temps mean black ice is a possibility Caution on roads, black ice possible and last updated 2020-12-25 23:39:25-05 LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — The snow came and stayed, giving those in Lexington a white Christmas Day. “I’m excited for it. I wasn’t expecting it, but I like it,” said one woman.
