A yellow level travel advisory has been issued by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office and Hamilton County Emergency Management for unincorporated roads in Hamilton County, effective Friday evening until further notice.
Yellow is the lowest level of local travel advisory and means that routine travel or activities may be restricted in areas because of a hazardous situation. Drivers should use caution or avoid those areas.
Unincorporated roads are those roads maintained by Hamilton County, usually roads outside of cities and towns. The National Weather Service is forecasting several inches of snow and has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Hamilton County until Saturday morning.
