There's " Snow " place like the winter in the Commonwealth!
Winter Storm Jonas came through the Bluegrass and left our vast state covered in thick blankets of snow. Many from around the state including our ‘Explore Kentucky’ community demonstrated Kentucky’s beauty by capturing stunning visuals of their adventures in the winter wonderland. We observed snowshoeing in the Red River Gorge, icicle dotted covered bridges in Frankfort, sledding in Levi Jackson State Park, the landscapes in the Jackson Purchase region, and much much more. Our Communications Associate, Kerri Bonner and Director, Gerry James selected 30 photos and videos- let us know what you think!
