At about 1 p.m. on Tuesday, February 3, the Marshall County Emergency Management Agency returned the county to a normal travel status, ending the Travel Advisory that was issued January 14.
EMA Director Jack Garner said, “This Advisory was upgraded to a Watch twice while conditions were at their worst. Thankfully, warmer and drier weather has settled in, allowing road conditions to improve substantially.”
Garner expressed thankfulness to everyone who played a part in keeping the public safe over the last few weeks. The Marshall County Highway Department, INDOT, and municipal street departments worked tirelessly to keep the roads as clear as possible. He said, “Thank you to our first responders: law enforcement officers, dispatchers, firefighters, and EMS workers, for braving the conditions to respond to calls.”
The EMA Director closed his comments saying, “While Punxsutawney Phil isn’t always right, it does appear that winter won’t be going away anytime soon. Long term forecasts favor a colder than normal February, increasing the likelihood of future snowfall events. Continue to follow EMA for updates this winter!”
