“We urge everyone to avoid travel unless absolutely necessary during severe winter weather,” said the Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Office on Facebook. “If you must be on the road, please use extreme caution, reduce your speed, and allow extra time to reach your destination. Your safety—and the safety of first responders—depends on it.”
