UPDATE: Conditions are improving across the region following the impact of Winter Storm Fern, but full recovery will take more time, local officials warn. As of Wednesday evening, February 14, 2024, nearly all roads have become passable, though challenges remain, particularly in Vine Grove and Elizabethtown.
In a live Facebook update, Vine Grove Mayor Pam Ogden highlighted the progress made but noted that 10 streets and 2 parking lots still require clearing of remaining ice and snow. While the situation has markedly improved, crews are working diligently to manage the aftermath of the storm.
Areas like North Hardin High School in Radcliff are still dealing with significant piles of snow and ice as cleanup operations continue. Public Works teams in Elizabethtown are utilizing claw cranes to remove large chunks of ice from downtown sidewalks, ensuring pedestrian safety.
Residents have expressed relief at the improved road conditions, yet they remain cautious as they navigate the aftermath of the storm. The hard work of local crews has been instrumental, but officials stress patience is necessary as they work to restore full accessibility throughout the area.
As cleanup efforts continue, officials urge residents to remain vigilant and report any hazardous conditions they encounter. The community’s resilience is being tested, and local leaders are committed to ensuring every street and lot is cleared as quickly as possible.
Stay tuned for updates as the situation develops and local authorities continue to address the remnants of Winter Storm Fern.
