Clinton County officials have announced that the county is moving to a Travel Advisory, the lowest level of local travel restriction, as winter weather conditions continue to impact the area.
A Travel Advisory indicates that routine travel or activities may be restricted in certain areas due to hazardous conditions. Residents are urged to use caution when traveling and to avoid affected areas whenever possible.
While winds are expected to begin diminishing later this afternoon, some blowing and drifting snow will likely continue as wind speeds gradually decrease. Officials note that extremely cold temperatures will persist, contributing to snow-covered roadways across the county.
Due to the ongoing cold, road conditions are expected to remain hazardous for the next several days. Drivers are encouraged to allow extra travel time, reduce speeds, and remain alert for changing conditions.
County officials will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as conditions evolve. Residents are reminded to stay informed through local alerts and to prioritize safety during this period of winter weather.
