The Marshall County Emergency Management Agency has placed Marshall County under a “Travel Advisory.” The advisory went into effect at noon.
A Travel Advisory is the lowest level of local travel restrictions. This means that routine travel or activities may be restricted in certain areas because of hazardous situations, and individuals should use caution or avoid those areas. Travel advisories are signified with yellow on statewide travel status maps.
A winter system is expected to bring 4 to 6” of snowfall to Marshall County from Wednesday afternoon into early Thursday morning. Additionally, some sleet and/or freezing rain may mix in. EMA Director Jack Garner said, “While this is not a major winter storm, hazardous travel conditions are still expected.”
Snow should begin falling early this afternoon, and citizens should consider adjusting their afternoon and evening plans to avoid the roads at peak snowfall times.
Marshall County officials will continuously assess road conditions and determine when the county can return to normal travel status. With another round of snow possible this weekend, the advisory may remain in place as a precautionary measure.
Additionally, a Winter Weather Advisory has been issued by the National Weather Service. For up-to-date forecast information from the NWS, visit www.weather.gov/iwx/winter.
INDOT and the Marshall County Highway Department will be out in full force, plowing and treating the roads. Please avoid traveling if at all possible to allow crews safe operating conditions. Staying home will also help our public safety officials more efficiently respond to emergencies.
Stay tuned to local media and the Marshall County EMA for future updates – including an eventual return to normal travel status.
