TRAFFIC | Stay off Grant County roads. It’s very bad and you’ll probably get stuck in a snow drift. 
Wednesday morning commute is going to be impossible for some people in Grant County as too many roads to count are blocked by 3-5 foot tall snow drifts and abandoned vehicles. Because there are so many roads impacted, there are not enough resources to barricade. High winds continue this morning and snow drifts continue to grow.
There are just too many roads impacted to even begin to describe the impact areas. Motorists who attempted to drive overnight and who tried to drive this morning are getting stuck in snow drifts. Deputies are advising motorists stuck in drifts to remain inside their vehicles, turn on their hazard lights and call for a tow truck. Deputies are checking on occupied and abandoned vehicles all over the county and bringing stranded motorists to safety. This effort, of course, may take many hours.
Due to the high volume of calls this morning, deputies are prioritizing their response. Low priority calls (anything non-life-threatening) will take the longest to address.

Instructions:
Stay off roads. If stuck in a drift remain in your car, call for help.
