LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- Hours after Mother Nature dumped seven to 14" of snow over Louisville, the sun gave light to its aftermath. Snow packed roads, icy interstates and dead batteries caused troubles for area residents.
"I think a lot of people are heading the warning, don't go out unless you have to. Unless you need coffee," Jim Murphy laughed.
Street corners revealed the difference between main roads and residential ones.
"The main roads are fine. The side streets will take a day or two," Stan Henderson, a Highlands resident, said.
Henderson spent the morning shoveling around his car, but he didn't mind the extra exercise.
"It's a big one but we've had worse, and it's lasted longer. It's pretty and it's fun," Henderson said.
"It's pretty easy to brush off. It's not stuck on yet," Adrienne Nixon said.
Nixon says she didn't even bother getting out during Monday's storm. She spent the day inside and warm, but the snow day quickly came to an end.
"I definitely haven't had this amount of snow in a while," Nixon said. "I'm going to work. Hopefully, I can get my car out."
A successful start to her day, but a rough one for Robert Peterson.
"I knew it wasn't going to start," Peterson said, after several failed attempts Tuesday morning. "Oh yea, and it's a diesel."
With a boost from our own WHAS11 news vehicle, the ignition started.
"This was going to be the routine before we got our coffee. So now we get to go get our coffee," Peterson smiled.
The warmth won't last long. Temperatures are expected to plunge overnight Tuesday with an additional one to 2" of snow over the Metro area.
