Marshall County Returns to Travel Advisory

Friday, January 16, 2026 at 8:15 AM

The Marshall County Emergency Management Agency has dropped Marshall County to a “Travel Advisory” effective immediately.

On Wednesday, a Travel Advisory was upgraded to a Travel Watch due to rapidly deteriorating conditions under an intense lake effect snow band. Conditions have improved, warranting a change of travel status back to Advisory.

There are multiple snow chances over the next few days, including later today. A few slick spots and drifts linger from Wednesday's event as well. As a precaution, EMA has decided to keep the Advisory in place.

A Travel Advisory is the lowest level of local travel restrictions. It means that routine travel or activities may be restricted in 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.

Thank you to Marshall County’s plow drivers, first responders in the field, and our dispatchers who have worked hard to ensure the public’s safety during this event.

Stay tuned to local media and the Marshall County EMA for future updates – including an eventual return to normal travel status.
