The first snow flakes of the season fell across Kentuckiana Monday morning, causing many traffic problems and school delays.
The snow began to fall around 4 a.m. and there has not been a lot of accumulation. However, there has been enough to prompt several southern Indiana and Kentucky schools to delay start times.
Jefferson County Public Schools are open and on schedule.
The accumulation has also caused some major problems on the roadways.
