Monroe County, Indiana – The Indiana Department of Homeland Security said that Monroe County was under a travel advisory on Friday due to bad road conditions and low visibility from blowing snow until further notice. This is the week’s second travel advisory.
This indicates that due to weather-related hazardous conditions, regular travel and activities may be prohibited in some regions. Locals are encouraged to use caution or avoid these areas completely.
