WVPE was just notified: As of 8:00am, the Elkhart County Board of Commissioners declared a snow emergency for Elkhart County and has officially closed offices today. Travel on roadways has become hazardous due to significant amounts of snowfall, strong winds, freezing temperatures, and widespread drifting of roads. County agencies are working together to alleviate the poor road conditions. During this emergency, citizens are asked to cooperate with county ordinance 2013-153 that mandates that no travel on county roadways is permitted during the emergency. The only exception to this provision is for emergency crews and county highway workers carrying out their official duties. The Sheriff’s Department is working with county officials to monitor the status of the snow emergency as well as the road conditions. Updates will be sent out as needed or as conditions change. Capt. James L. Bradberry Elkhart County Sheriff’s Department jbradberry@elkhartcountysheriff 574-891-2324
