The Marshall County Emergency Management Agency has returned Marshall County to a normal travel status effective immediately.
A Travel Advisory was issued on November 9th due to a lake-effect snow event that dumped up to a foot of snow in some areas of the county. Slick roads were caused by snowfall and black ice from a rapid freeze. Marshall County Central Dispatch was flooded with slide-off calls, particularly on Monday morning.
Conditions have improved today, and the snow has ended. There is a potential for snowmelt to refreeze on untreated roads overnight, but this depends on several factors that may prevent refreezing. County and state highway crews will keep an eye on the roads just in case.
Continue driving with caution, just in case slick spots linger.
Marshall County EMA Director Jack Garner thanked INDOT, the Marshall County Highway Department, and municipal street departments for their hard work during this frustrating weather period. He also thanks the public safety officials who responded to the numerous traffic incidents over the last 48 hours.
