[KYHAM] Re: Winter Storm WARNING for Central Ky Counties!

[Ron Dodson]

Peak precipation is expected after sunset tonight from this
system.  I again encourage amateurs to monitor their local
repeaters and simplex frequencies to be alert for any
stranded motorist reports. Roadways in many counties are
already slick and hazardous.  If travel can be delayed, it
would be well advised to do so.
