Marshall County Highway Supervisor Jason Peters issued a notification around 8:20 a.m. EST, noting that crews
Supervisor Peters explained that roads are starting to get snow coved in spots but there’s also bare pavement in a lot of areas. Slush has formed at some intersections due to the previous road treatment over the last few days.
Motorists are encouraged to drive with caution and be
observant of their surroundings. Peters reports that drivers should try to
avoid north and south travel as much as possible due to the wind out of the
east, which will account for most of the drifting hazards.
He added that drifting is starting to develop throughout the county but road foreman’s
have not seen anything that would cause a vehicle not to be able to pass
through as of now.
Peters stated that the Highway Department will continue to monitor road
conditions and plan accordingly.
Crews are planning to recheck roads condition around 10 a.m.
According to Peters, if mainlines throughout the
county start to develop travel hazards, they will have crews come in around 12 p.m.
and run those throughout the county and they will take care of some secondary
roads as well.
After this afternoon’s run Peters said he will make plans for this evening and
Sunday morning’s start times.
