The Marshall County Emergency Management Agency has upgraded Marshall County to a “Travel Watch” effective immediately.
A Travel Watch is the middle level of local travel restrictions. During a "watch" local travel advisory, only essential travel, such as to and from work or in emergencies, is recommended. Travel watches are signified with orange on statewide travel status maps. Please note that due to high traffic, the state’s website has been crashing and is slow to update.
Marshall County EMA encourages businesses, schools, and other facilities to activate their Emergency Operating Plan and act in the interest of their employees and the public’s safety.
Winter Storm Fern dropped 4-6" of snow across Marshall County, which, combined with previous snowfall, has led to drifting roads, especially those oriented North/South and in rural areas. The Marshall County Highway Department is reporting that it has been difficult to keep up with drifting in some areas while attempting to plow.
The Travel Watch will remain in place overnight and will be reassessed regularly for a potential return to normal travel status.
In the meantime, EMA encourages all travelers to stay home and only travel for essential purposes. If you do have to drive, please go extra slow and be courteous to those around you!
