Northern Kentucky and Southern Indiana have been placed under a Wind Chill Advisory between Saturday night and Sunday morning, according to the National Weather Service of Louisville. "Wind chills in these areas will fall below -10F," according to the NWS. "Other areas in central Kentucky will see wind chills below 0F." There could be snow showers on Saturday evening with some places experiencing dusting and 0.5 inches of snow. Snow accumulation is more likely east of Interstate 65. "The winter weather continues today into tonight, with gusty winds and temperatures continuing to drop," Mayor Craig Greenberg said. "Please use caution and stay safe, Louisville!" The cold temperature is the preview to extreme cold weather expected for Louisville beginning on Sunday. The temperature will be in the single digits and teens and the chill forecast is expected to be in the single digits and drop below zero. "Potential for accumulating snow Sunday morning, Sunday night, and into early next week," according to the National Weather Service. At a press conference on Friday, Jefferson County Public Schools spokesperson Carolyn Callahan said the school district has not yet determined if classes will take place Tuesday. A final decision will be made by 5 a.m. on Tuesday and parents will be notified by text, email and the district's social channels. Callahan said if the district closes, it will use one of its 10 available non-traditional instruction days that students will not have to make up at the end of the year. Many schools have already given students packets to work on if school is canceled. Greenberg said libraries and community centers will be open during regular business hours as warming centers, which means they will be closed on Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Admirers of nautical icon Anna hope to prevent her final bow

Jan. 13 -- CAPE VINCENT -- The Anna, a nautical icon beloved by its legion of fans, is on rocky ground after the owner of the 30-foot Block Island trawler expressed some interest in selling the boat, or at least parts of her. In early December, Ronald J. Trottier, owner of Anchor Marina, 583 E. Broadway St., where Anna has been "on the hard" for about two decades, tasked Marcie Travers-Barth with selling Anna. Tavers-Barth owns The Coal Docks Restaurant & Bar, across the street from the marina. The restaurant building itself is owned by Trottier, who is not involved in the establishment's business or management. "The owner has asked that I put it up for sale and handle all offers," Travers-Barth posted on Facebook on Dec. 10, noting that the transaction would not result in any money for her. "Buyer(s) must remove it at their own cost. Let's get her sold and keep her part of the Cape Vincent community." That post set off alarms on the "The Anna" Facebook group page, which says the boat "has become an 'unofficial' beloved icon of the Cape Vincent community." Group members sought ways to save her. Posted ideas ranged from creating a GoFundMe account, setting up a nonprofit, gauging interest from the Mystic Seaport in Stonington, Connecticut, to placement of Anna on the National Register of Historic Places. On Jan. 3, in a "Letters From the People" submission to the Watertown Daily Times, Cape Vincent resident Victoria Sperry wrote that Anna is a vital source of tourism with a potential of doing much more. "There are a couple of places in the village where Anna could be displayed (with the cooperation of local authorities) if enough people come together and work to make this happen," Sperry wrote. "It's a romantic thing on my part, Sperry said on Tuesday. "Anna is beautiful. And so many old boats fade into obscurity. But she really is an attraction. People come here to paint and draw her. It's an incentive for people to come to the cape." Cape Vincent Mayor Jerry D. Golden said the village would have no means to undertake a restoration project involving Anna and finds the arguments to save her don't hold much water. "It's definitely gotten some attention. It's cool looking. I have a picture of it, as do so many other people. There are people out there who think something different, but to me, there's just no value in trying to restore that or have it on display." He said the ship has been a topic at village meetings, and at one, a question was asked. "Somebody mentioned, 'If some private investor bought it, restored it and made it pristine and gave it to the village -- would they take it?' I'm like, that's a lot of hypotheticals there, but I said you could always present something to the village if that were the case, and we could make a decision at that time." He added, "If somebody said, 'Hey, you could buy the Anna for $20,000 if the village put up the money,' I would say we wouldn't be interested." A restored Anna would face another issue in the village. "Where would you put i...
