My office and I are in continuous communication with agency leadership and we continue to get real-time updates. With disparities in the weather and different areas seeing different conditions, I am encouraging everyone to stay safe and use their judgment. Drivers in those communities most impacted by the weather conditions are urged to avoid unnecessary travel at this time. We will continue to provide updates as needed.
