Marshall County under "Travel Advisory"

The Marshall County Emergency Management Agency has placed Marshall County under a “Travel Advisory” effective immediately.

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.

A lake effect snow event is overspreading the region and bringing heavy snowfall rates and an expected 4-8" of additional accumulation. A few inches of snow have already fallen and caused slick roads.

Marshall County officials will continually assess road conditions and make a determination on lifting the advisory once conditions improve. Expect hazardous travel through Monday night.

Additionally, a Winter Storm Warning has been issued by the National Weather Service now until 7 PM Monday.

INDOT and the Marshall County Highway Department will be out 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.
