Winter Storm Grips Tri-State Area

Road conditions are deteriorating rapidly in the Tri-State region as a significant winter storm makes its arrival. Officials in Vanderburgh County have reported an increasing number of property damage accidents and vehicles sliding off the roadways due to the accumulating snow. The Evansville Fire Department has issued a stern advisory for drivers. They are strongly recommending that individuals avoid travel if at all possible. For those who must venture out, they advise maintaining a full gas tank, driving at a reduced speed, and carrying an emergency car kit. Residents are also encouraged to inform others of their travel plans if they are required to be on the road.
