DOT plow on Highway 30 in Grand Junction

Road conditions are still completely covered with snow and ice in the Raccoon Valley Radio-listening area.

According to the Iowa Department of Transportation, travel is not advised in Dallas County and all other state highways in Greene and Guthrie counties are completely covered with ice and snow. Additionally, tow services are not recommended for Dallas and Adair counties, while there is a tow ban in Greene County. Motorists are encouraged to not crowd the plow and allow snow removal crews plenty of room to do their work on the roads.

With travel difficulty, there are other issues that the recent winter storm brought. The Adel Fire Department is reporting downed power lines across Highway 169 north of Adel. Motorists are urged to avoid the area as crews are on scene. 

The DOT also reported three traffic-related crashes earlier this morning between Earlham and Menlo on Interstate-80. All lanes of traffic are back open. 

According to the National Weather Service, Jefferson received at least eight-inches of snowfall, the Adel area had around four-inches, and Stuart received about one-inch. Stay tuned to the Raccoon Valley Radio Network for road condition updates as well as cancellation and postponement information.
