The Polk County Sheriff’s Office advises travelers that with the current weather conditions, visibility is down to zero in some areas, along with drifting across roads due to the blowing snow. If you do not need to travel, please stay home. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office has had a few calls of vehicles going into the ditch, and others are stopping on the side of the road due to the conditions. If you must travel, ensure you have a winter weather survival kit in your vehicle. If you do get stuck, first responders might not be able to reach you until the weather improves.
For current road conditions, you can go to the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s 511 website.
