PLYMOUTH — The Marshall County Emergency Management Agency has dropped Marshall County to a Travel Advisory
effective immediately.
On Sunday, a Travel Advisory was upgraded to a Travel Watch due to rapidly deteriorating conditions from Winter Storm Fern. Wind gusts above 30 mph prolonged dangerous travel conditions due to drifting on Marshall County’s back roads.
Winds have died down and the Marshall County Highway Department has made significant progress in pushing back the drifts that formed Tuesday. Slick roads do remain a concern due to very cold temperatures preventing snow/ice melt. With passable but slick roads, county officials are keeping Marshall County at the Travel Advisory level.
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 and first responders who have worked hard to ensure the public’s safety during this event.
