"Synchronized snow plowing is a thing! Removing snow from the barrier wall keeps the left shoulder clear for emergency use & keeps drainage boxes unclogged," the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet wrote in a Twitter post.

The National Weather Service expected the worst weather to hit the state on the afternoon of Feb. 15 through to the next day.
