Winter Storm

We have about five inches of snow on the ground. Many schools are closed today because of road conditions. As you can see above, one lane of travel was partially cleared this morning on my way to work on State Road 25.
Tippecanoe County has adopted emergency travel advisories. When you hear we are on Level 3, it means we are under a 'Hazardous Travel Watch Advisory.' It means road conditions can be dangerous. It does not regulate or restrict travel. Level 2 is a Hazardous Transportation Warning. This level means there is significant risk of injury, damage to property, and travel may be significantly delayed. Only essential travel is permitted. Level 1 is a Hazardous Transportation Emergency. Travel is prohibited at that level.
