The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) is gearing up for wintry weather as a mix of rain, snow, and ice is expected to move through the northern portion of the state on Tuesday night and into Wednesday. Road crews have already started pre-treating roadways by spreading salt brine to reduce the freezing point and prevent the formation of ice. The treated roads are located in several counties, including DeSoto, Marshall, Benton, Tate, Tunica, Tippah, Alcorn, Tishomingo, and Prentiss. MDOT has also prepared its snow plows and sand trucks in anticipation of the winter weather. The department expects moderate travel impacts in the northernmost counties and has provided a winter weather preparedness guide for residents to access. Stay tuned for updates on the latest weather forecasts and road conditions as MDOT continues to monitor the situation.
